Missed inspection steps can lead to costly repairs, equipment damage, and operational disruptions. In this session at the ILTA 2026 Conference & Trade Show, Aaron Mierzwa and Steve Dipper of Energy Transfer and Brian Mitchell of SKF will share how Energy Transfer implemented an electronic logbook system after a missed inspection step resulted in structural damage and significant repair costs.
Attendees will learn how digital logbooks can support on-time inspections, strengthen accountability, improve visibility into field activities, and help teams maintain reliable operational performance.
Attendees can earn 0.1 CEU by attending this session.

As asset owners across the oil and gas and industrial sectors face increasing pressure to improve safety, reduce downtime, and strengthen inspection quality, the need for smarter inspection strategies has never been greater. Aging infrastructure, tighter regulatory expectations, and the operational realities of inspecting complex assets are pushing the industry to look beyond conventional methods alone.
Traditional inspection methods remain fundamental. But today’s operating environments often require additional tools that can improve access, reduce personnel exposure, and generate better data for faster, more confident decision-making.
To help meet those demands, HMT is proud to announce two new strategic collaborations: one with Aero Velocity, leveraging advanced drone-enabled inspection and digital asset intelligence capabilities, and another with Arix Technologies, a leader in robotic inspection solutions for pipelines and Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI).
Together, these collaborations strengthen HMT’s ability to deliver safer, smarter, and more comprehensive inspection solutions while reinforcing the technical rigor, reliability, and execution quality our customers expect.
Emerson has introduced the new Rosemount 396A Anti-Coating pH Sensor, designed to measure pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) in abrasive, dirty and high-solids industrial applications.
The sensor features an anti-coating reference design and Modbus digital output aimed at reducing maintenance requirements while maintaining stable pH and ORP measurements in environments where coating and fouling are common.
Shell Malaysia is expanding its Westport Fuels Terminal, adding three new tanks for gasoline and diesel. Construction is expected to begin in 2026 and will be carried out in phases by local Malaysian-incorporated companies.
