DOHA: The fifth edition of ‘Offshore Middle East Conference and Exhibition’ will be held here from January 26 to 28, 2015 under the patronage of the Minister of Energy and Industry, H E Dr Mohammed bin Saleh Al Sada.
The conference and exhibition is returning to Doha on the success of last year’s edition, which attracted over 1,500 attendees and 38 speakers from more than 50 countries.
The three-day programme to be held at Qatar National Convention Centre, will focus on “optimising performance”.
“Upstream investment in the Middle East will continue rising as the industry relies more heavily on conventional oil and gas resources to meet long-term demand, said David Paganie, Director, Offshore Conferences, PennWell Corporation. “At the upcoming conference, thought leaders from national and international operating companies will share case studies, lessons learned, and emerging technological solutions for new and existing offshore fields with the goal of educating delegates on optimizing performance and maximizing investment.”
Highlights of 2015 Offshore Middle East include a keynote address from Dr Al Sada and the Offshore Middle East Student Paper Programme.
The purpose of the Student Paper Programme is to showcase regional engineering talent and student development at regional universities. The Programme is also designed to bring university students together with technical experts in their fields of study and to allow regional oil and gas companies to identify future talent.
The Student Paper Programme is currently soliciting submissions for technical papers pertaining to field development, drilling & completion, facilities engineering, flow assurance, pipeline construction & installation, platform construction & installation, subsea technology, reservoir management, production optimization, asset integrity, well control, and other relevant topics.
