Muscat, Oman, 29 October 2014 — ASIATODAY.COM — Oman Refining & Petrochemical Exhibition and Conference (ORPEC) is set to be the flagship event for Oman’s downstream industry. Scheduled from March 16 to 18, 2015 at the Oman International Exhibition Center, the show will provide a venue to meet industry needs and present available business and investment opportunities to companies that cater to the growing petrochemical, refinery and downstream sector.
Given the substantial investments made in the sector by the government, along with the current refinery expansion projects in Muscat, Sohar and new developments in Duqm, pioneer organizer Omanexpo once again creates the much-needed platform that will help meet rising sector demand, boost the petrochemical industry, and attract foreign investment and partnerships to leverage expertise, technology, and capital-raising capacity.
“After the grand success of OGWA 2014, specialized event for the upstream market, the need to support the growth of the downstream segment was vital, along with the positive feedback from OGWA exhibitors,” says exhibition manager Ebrahim Taher.
The conference will underline the major downstream projects in Oman, present midstream developments, investment drivers and strategies, and in-country value (ICV) development. The exhibition will be a showcase of products, services, technology, systems and equipment that are relevant to the ongoing projects in the Sultanate and has to date, confirmed country pavilion participation from China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Iran.
To further strengthen its commitment towards achieving its strategic goals, Omanexpo has
allied with global events company Clarion Events and World Refining Association (WRA), a non-profit organization under Clarion’s Energy Group of Companies.
Nader Abbas, general manager of Omanexpo, says “We are pleased to cooperate with Clarion Events, given their reputation in organizing successful energy events across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, two of which are the Abu Dhabi International Downstream Exhibition & Conference and Global Petrochemicals Conference. We are confident that ORPEC will uplift the downstream and petrochemical industry in Oman.”
ORPEC’s current lineup of partners includes Visitor Bag Sponsor STS, Lunch Sponsor DB Schenker, apart from top organizations such as Petrofac, Ducab, CTS Middle East, Ras Al Hamra, to name a few, of which participation confirmation has been received for the event.
“We are placing our best efforts in ensuring that the show will be a source of new opportunities for local and international companies and will provide the maximum benefits for all our exhibitors and partners. With the raft of investments in the government and private sector pipeline, continuing opportunities are assured for these companies. We are inviting oil and gas industry professionals to be part of this event and contribute to the sector’s advancement,” Abbas adds.
