The SABIT Oil Pipelines Program is designed to train 18 mid- to-senior-level executives from the Eurasian energy transportation sector. These delegates represent the upper echelon of oil transportation managers and engineers from Eurasia, where the industry is currently undergoing a period of transition and extraordinary growth. This program introduces participants to the status and trends of the U.S. oil transportation industry and current themes in oil pipeline safety, construction, and maintenance. By meeting this SABIT group, U.S. companies will build relationships with leaders of the oil transportation sector in Eurasia. Through these valuable contacts Louisiana companies can explore commercial opportunities and partnerships in the region.
