PIPELINE CORROSION FOCUS SESSION And JOINT MEETING WITH NACE

January's meeting will include Focus Sessions offered by the Houston Section of NACE as industry training programs integrated into with our regular monthly meeting.

These sessions are intended for experienced operators and engineers and will be state of the art rather than introductory in nature. Participants are invited to stay for the Monthly Cocktail hour and dinner session to follow.
