Welcome to the latest Tube Products INTERNATIONAL magazine. In this first issue of 2017 we have a feature on welding technology and an extended article from Schoeller Werk, Germany, looking at piping solutions for the oil and gas industry. As this new issue hits your desk I will be on my way to the UAE to attend the Steel Fab 2017 show in Sharjah and no doubt enjoy some welcome sunny weather away from winter in the UK. I have heard a lot of positive reviews of this event so it will be interesting to attend for the first time. Do come and say hello if you are visiting. I hope to see a positive turn out to lend strength to the cautiously positive predictions for the oil and gas industry in 2017. It has been a tough couple of years for everyone in that sector, but recent reports are increasingly optimistic about a rise in the price of oil over the next two years. I am sure most people will believe that when they see it, but hopefully the worst of the cutbacks and the job losses are now behind us. The main driving force behind these predictions is a big increase in demand for oil and gas from developing countries over the next decade. Many of these countries have a far stronger growth forecast than OECD regions and Eurasia. The editorial deadline for the March issue is 13 January. It will have features on OCTG, gas and pipeline products, mechanical tubing used in automotive and aerospace, and a show feature looking at Made in Steel 2017. The advertising deadline is 23 January. If you have any press releases, case studies or technical articles to send for inclusion in the magazine please feel free to contact me at rory@intras.co.uk Enjoy the magazine.
