Rio Pipeline & Logistics 2027

Rio Pipeline & Logistics is the pipeline and energy logistics congress run by IBP, the Brazilian Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels Institute. Held every two years in Rio de Janeiro, it brings together operators, engineering firms, suppliers and researchers who design, build and run the pipelines, terminals and logistics chains that move oil, gas and biofuels across Brazil and the wider region.

Congress and technical programme

The core of the event is a technical congress built from an open call for papers, with lectures and panels in several content rooms. The 2027 call for papers ran from 1 September to 16 October 2026, so the programme is shaped by peer-reviewed work from industry and academia.

• Pipeline design, integrity and operation
• Onshore, offshore and slurry pipelines
• Oil, gas and biofuels logistics
• Technological innovation and sustainability

Exhibition and Logistics Arena

Alongside the congress, an exhibition gathers pipeline and logistics suppliers. The organizer added logistics to the agenda in 2025 and gave logistics exhibitors an expanded space, including a Logistics Arena for talks and demonstrations.

Young professionals

Rio Pipeline runs a dedicated track for the next generation of the industry, with the Young Rio Pipeline programme, a hackathon and a Young Pipeliners award. The organizer reports more than 200 young participants taking part.
