Welcome to the latest Tube Products INTERNATIONAL magazine. This issue we have a feature on oil and gas as well as an extended article on environmentally friendly corrosion treatments for pipe and tube (see page 56). The magazine will be distributed at Tube Russia. Our team will be there in Moscow so please do come and say hello. On the subject of tube shows, there are some exciting new opportunities to make contacts in international markets in 2017, with Messe Düsseldorf announcing that it is supporting a new tube and pipe producers and suppliers pavilion at FABTECH 2017. This is excellent news and will hopefully see the tube side of this fantastic show in Chicago grow even bigger. There have been several stories in the press about large pipelines in the US such as Keystone XL Pipeline and the Dakota Access Pipeline finally being signed off so the timing could not be better. In addition, Messe Düsseldorf has announced a brand new show called Iran Tube 2017, which will take place in Tehran from 5 to 8 December. The sanctions against the country have made it difficult to fully develop its offshore oil and gas fields and particularly what is thought to be the largest offshore gas field in the world – South Pats, shared between Iran and Qatar. Some believe some of the deals for, as an example, chrome resistance alloy OCTG could be the biggest ever signed, so the potential in the market is absolutely huge, especially for companies in Europe and Japan that traditionally tend to specialise in these areas. Next issue we will have features on plastic and composite tubes and pipes; fittings, valves, flanges
