DOHA: ExxonMobil will demonstrate its commitment to technological advancement and operational excellence at the Middle East Turbomachinery Symposium (METS) beginning today at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
Held under the patronage of Minister of Energy and Industry H E Dr Mohammed bin Saleh Al Sada, the symposium is hosted by Qatar Petroleum and organised by Texas A&M University’s Turbomachinery Laboratory. The event will feature lectures, tutorials, case studies, group discussions and short courses that are on a par with the high quality of the Turbomachinery and Pump Symposia held annually in Houston, Texas. The symposium exhibit hall will feature leading companies with exhibits of the latest services and full-sized equipment.
“Building on the success of the inaugural symposium, this year’s event is set to raise the bar with its robust and comprehensive technical programme and an impressive exhibition,” said Bart Cahir, President and General Manager of ExxonMobil Qatar. “Qatar Petroleum and its partners have built one of the world’s most impressive turbomachinery asset bases, which makes Qatar an ideal place to bring industry participants together to discuss challenges and opportunities in this field.”
Representatives from ExxonMobil will join Al Sada in inaugurating the event, lead various technical short courses, and showcase its own turbomachinery asset base. METS seeks to promote professional development, technology transfers, international peer networking, and information exchange.
