PRCI and YPP USA BRIDGE Workshop - How the Pipeline Industry Will “Fuel the Global Energy Demand” & White Paper Training

PRCI is hosting a YPP USA BRIDGE* workshop on March 16th at their Technology Development Center (TDC) in Houston. This workshop is targeting young pipeline professionals who would like to increase their knowledge on pipeline industry topics related to “Fueling the Global Energy Demand” and better develop their white paper writing skills. The workshop will also help prepare YPP members for the YPP USA 2023 Symposium White Paper Competition.

Pipeline industry subject matter experts (SMEs) will share their knowledge by leading discussions on topics relating to fueling the global energy demand such as leveraging existing U.S. infrastructure, emerging fuels, and decarbonization. These discussions will accompany guidance on how to write a successful white paper.

This workshop will be limited to 16 YPP members. A limited number of virtual spots will be available for members interested in learning how to write a great white paper for the YPP USA 2023 Symposium White Paper Competition, but who are not able to attend the workshop in person. Lunch will be provided and a tour of PRCI’s TDC will be offered after the workshop. The workshop is on March 16th from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm (including Lunch) with the optional PRCI TDC Facility Tour starting at 1:00 pm.
