Transportation Oil & Gas Congress (TOGC) 2024 brought together C-level executives and technical specialists from major companies to explore sustainable solutions for the future in the pipeline sector. Event held in Milan, Italy, on February 19-21, 2024. 

Transportation Oil & Gas Congress (TOGC) is an annual event dedicated to the pipeline industry, covering key challenges and opportunities from next-gen H2 infrastructure to digital transformation. Within three days, TOGC invites top players of the industry to network in order to accelerate the advancement of sustainable solutions, paving the way for a secure and environmentally responsible energy future.

The 4th edition of Transportation Oil & Gas Congress fostered valuable networking opportunities to forge new connections and explore potential collaborations in Milan, Italy on February 19-21. Oil and gas pipeline leaders SICIM and Bonatti S.p.a. cooperated with the Congress as regional partners.

Moreover, among attendees were representatives from Bonatti S.p.a., SICIM, Eni, ICGB, Exolum, OGE, DESFA, Saipem, Techint Engineering & Construction, Wood, Moldovagaz, and others. 

The first day of TOGC 2024 started with an opening panel featuring C-level executives from leading oil and gas industry companies. Angelina Nizamova, the Project Director of TOGC gave the welcoming speech:

“More than 250 delegates have gathered today to exchange the latest innovations and discuss the current challenges of the midstream industry, which help create new business connections for future corporations and sustainable development of the industry”. 

During the panel, experts demonstrated projects to explore the role of pipelines in shaping a sustainable energy future. Peter Markussen, CEO of Associated Activities from Energinet, made a presentation on how infrastructure must transform by 2050 for green energy, showcasing local, national and regional examples, and proposing solutions for managing planning complexities. Representatives from Petro IT, ICGB AD, Pietro Fiorentini Spa, and Consolidated Contractors Company also presented their strategies for determining the role of pipelines in energy transition.

The business program consisted of leaders’ talks, roundtables, and debates to address industry issues. With the support of Emerson, a leading technology and software company, the first roundtable was held. Such a format of sessions included a limited number of participants and provided closed-door discussion dedicated to the importance of digital twins for achieving operational excellence in the midstream sector. 

On the second day of the TOGC 2024, the CO2 Debate format debuted, where three delegates presented diverse perspectives on the following topics: infrastructure, transportation, circular economies, and financial challenges of CCS facilities. 

Finally, on the third day, co-sponsored by Enivibes and SLB, TOGC 2024 attendees visited Eni headquarters in San Donato Milanese to observe live demonstration of the e-vpms® Leak and Third-Party Interference (TPI) detectors. 

BGS Group, the organiser, made an announcement that TOGC is changing its format in 2025 to the Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Congress: DECARBON. 

The new edition is focusing on sustainable development across oil and gas operations (upstream, midstream, downstream) on February 10-11, in Germany, Berlin. The registration of the companies is already open.
