We proudly participated in AICC Caspian 2025, held from 9 to 11 December in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Asset Integrity, Corrosion and Coatings Conference (AICC) is a leading industry forum focused on protecting the safety, reliability and long-term performance of critical assets in the oil and gas sector. By convening industry experts, operators, and technology providers, AICC provides an essential platform for sharing insights, discussing challenges, and showcasing the latest innovations and best practices in asset integrity management, corrosion mitigation, and protective coating solutions.

Our offering includes:
- Advanced & Basic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
- Vibration Monitoring

- Field Support Services
This integrated scope enables flawless execution across offshore, onshore and pipeline assets, providing clients with a single, reliable partner for end-to-end asset integrity management.

Thought Leadership on the Future of Inspection
A key highlight of SGS’s participation was a technical presentation delivered by Nizami Abasaliyev, Technical Director & Project Manager, Industries & Environment at SGS Azerbaijan. The session unveiled SGS’s modern approach to inspection, designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s energy sector.
The presentation emphasized how disciplined governance, robust HSE and quality foundations, high operational agility and a rapidly maturing local workforce combine to deliver low-risk, high-reliability outcomes at scale. This approach reflects SGS’s commitment to supporting operators as they navigate increasingly complex asset integrity challenges.
