Welcome to the latest Tube Products INTERNATIONAL magazine. In this issue we have a feature on fittings, valves, flanges & connectors and an extended article from EWM AG in Germany looking at technology that can be used while degaussing pipelines. It offers a fascinating insight into the latest techniques. Following the recent attacks against the oil fields in Saudi Arabia there has been a lot of speculation about dramatic rises in the oil price. Full repairs to the facilities are expected to take months to complete as specialist equipment is required to be custom made to carry out the repairs. However, according to the Financial Times in the UK there has been a much faster return to full production than expected, which has calmed the oil markets. Oil prices have become more stable, faster than expected, which is great news for the tube industry in the region as well as other related industries in such an important worldwide market. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region in general have become huge export markets for countries such as the USA, so a return to stability is very important. Let’s hope that this is just an isolated incident and that the area can continue to thrive. Next issue we have features on OCTG, gas & pipeline products, tube welding technology, and tube inspection & testing. The January issue will also have a Tube Düsseldorf preview, so if you would like to give readers and those attending Tube Düsseldorf 2020 an advance look at what you will be exhibiting at the show – and the location of your stand – then please submit your editorial as soon as possible. It is, of course, not long until Tube Düsseldorf happens and we will be starting to plan this issue of the magazine soon, so please do start thinking about your editorial submissions and marketing plans in order to guarantee inclusion in this important issue, which will help showcase your products to all of the most important buyers and decision makers in the tube and pipe industry.
