The World Federation of Pipe Line Industry Associations provides a platform for collaboration amongst the associations related in one way or another to the onshore and offshore construction of international and regional oil, gas, water and slurry pipelines.

Meetings may be held at every annual conference or convention of each association member. A Heads of Agreement for WFPIA was finalised on 1 June 2016.
