Dear IPS2021 Sponsors, Registrants and Attendees,

As the novel coronavirus continues to take a human and economic toll across the world, our perforating industry is not immune. 
The IPFC BOD and IPS 2021 Committee have discussed about whether to carry on with IPS2021 as planned and they have decided to reschedule our event due to growing concerns over the potential impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus on our activities. The health and safety of event attendees, exhibitors and committee members is our highest priority and lead to this decision. 
We recommend everyone that booked their hotel to either change your hotel booking date for Aug 23-25, 2021  or cancel your reservations. (please find  the Moody Gardens reservation information below )

One of our main goals is to promote new technologies that will offer opportunities for improved safety and increased operational efficiency. This is applicable to explosives used in oil and gas producing operations, and more specifically to the use of explosives inside a wellbore. The IPF Safety Chair’s goal is to collect and review incidents and near miss reports related to explosives and associated surface equipment used in oil and gas producing operations electric and electronic detonators, percussion initiators, igniters, delay devices, ballistic transfers, addressable (digital) firing systems and surface equipment associated with the perforating systems. The purpose is to prevent inadvertent and unintentional detonation of explosives, help minimize risks and reduce explosive accidents to zero.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”SUBMIT INCIDENT/NEAR MISS” shape=”square” color=”black” size=”lg” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fperforators.org%2Fperforating-safety%2Fincident-form%2F||target:%20_blank|”][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”INCIDENTS & NEAR MISSES REPORTS” shape=”square” color=”black” size=”lg” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fperforators.org%2Fview%2Fincidents-near-misses%2F||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The International Perforating Forum (IPF) was created in 2008, as an independent forum for the advancement of the well perforating technology. The first International Perforating Symposium (IPS) was organized in Houston in 2008, and it successfully lead to the next International Perforating Symposiums held biannually in different international locations, such as: Kuala Lumpur, Abu Dhabi, Amsterdam, Bogota and Muscat, organized by IPF Executive and Regional Committees. In 2015, the IPF became a nonprofit organization incorporated in Houston, Texas, under the name of “International Perforating Forum Company” (IPFC).[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”MORE ABOUT IPF” shape=”square” color=”black” size=”lg” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fperforators.org%2Fabout%2Fhistory-vision-and-mission%2F||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
