"With the participation of local and international firms including many national oil and gas companies in the AGCC, OGWA 2008 will be the biggest-ever event in Oman for the oil and gas industry since the inaugural edition of the event in 1998," said C. J. Paul, general manager of Omanexpo LLC, the leading exhibition management company in the Sultanate.
Paul pointed out that the OGWA 2008 exhibition would be a grand showcase of the technologies, products, equipment, and technical services for the oil and gas industry in Oman and other parts of the region. Among the countries that will be represented in the exhibition are: Bahrain; China; Egypt; France; Germany; India; Iran; Italy; South Korea; Kuwait; Malaysia; Norway; Oman; Qatar; Russia; Saudi Arabia; Singapore; UAE; UK; and the US.
Paul added during a press briefing that the event would also prominently feature the operations and achievements of national oil and gas companies such as Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), Oman LNG, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Qatar Petroleum (QP), and the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO).
Also present at the press conference were: Khalifa bin Mubarak Al Hinai, technical adviser to the minister of oil & gas; Saif Al Hinai, technical programme chairperson of PDO; and Waleed Refaay, managing director of SPE Middle East, North Africa and India. The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is managing and organising the international conference dubbed the "SPE EOR Conference at OGWA," which is scheduled for April 21-23 at the Golden Tulip Hotel.
The conference will have an executive keynote session featuring John Malcolm, managing director of PDO and senior representatives from other national oil companies in the region.
It will bring together global experts in all forms of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to present, share, and discuss their experiences. The technical programme will cover the latest advances in thermal, gas, and chemical EOR methods; EOR selection criteria; surveillance techniques for locating remaining oil; and drivers and challenges in implementing EOR. Several field pilots and case studies will also be part of the discussions. According to the SPE, the conference presents a great opportunity for practicing engineers and geoscientists involved in E&P work.
