dmg events, an international exhibition company, has announced the launch of the Middle East Heavy Oil Congress in partnership with the National Oil and Gas Authority (NOGA), Bahrain's leading government organization for oil and gas.

The debuting conference will be held under the patronage of H.E. Shaikh Ahmed Bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Minister of Finance, Minister in Charge of Oil and Gas Affairs, and Chairman of NOGA, and will take place from November 25 to 26, 2015 in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The very first edition of the Middle East Heavy Oil Congress will focus on innovation and advancement made in the exploration, production and marketing of heavy crude and unlock the heavy oil value chain. It will be a regional gathering of the leading international experts involved in the development of the business and technology in the heavy oil sector, including upstream (exploration and production) and downstream (processing and conversion).

"dmg events continues to strengthen and expand its global portfolio of international events with the recent announcements of geo-cloned and new acquired trade shows in the construction and energy sectors. The Middle East Heavy Oil Congress will be the latest addition to a series of high-profile shows hosted by the company for the energy sector which includes the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), the world's 3rd largest event for the oil and gas industry. The show promises to provide deep insights on the commercial, regulatory and technical issues concerning the Middle East's heavy oil industry and the latest technological advancements made in exploration and production. The Middle East Heavy Oil Congress will be an ideal platform for oil and gas professionals to network with key decision makers and hear from leading dignitaries to get a balanced perspective about the industry." concluded Simon Mellor, President, dmg events - Middle East & Asia.
