Reynold's Wrap Up: Highlights from the API Subcommittee on Inspection and Mechanical Integrity (SCIMI) Meetings at the Spring 2017 API Standards Meeting

Inspection Summit Planning Meeting

• The next API Inspection Summit will once again be held the week of January 28 – 31, 2019 at the Galveston Convention Center; initial planning meetings occurred during this meeting in May.
• The Sixth Inspection Summit held last January was attended by over 1400 people (another record).  The feedback forms indicated that it was once again a big success and highly appreciated by attendees. 
• The exhibit hall was fully subscribed and we had another record number of presentations (nearly 200) on a wide variety of technical topics with regard to fixed equipment mechanical integrity, corrosion and inspection for all three industry segments (downstream/ midstream/ upstream). 
• Twelve panel discussions on various “hot topics” were conducted including Q&A with the audience.  Fourteen optional FEMI training courses were conducted on the Monday preceding the Summit.  They were also well attended.
• Inspectioneering Journal will once again be your primary source for advance information on the 2019 Inspection Summit.  Stay tuned.
