Middle East Technology Forum for Gas Processing, Refining, Residue Upgrading and Petrochemicals

Introduction

THE PURPOSE OF ME-TECH
To create a real meeting place in the Middle East for the downstream industry, where oil & gas operators can be updated on the latest news and advancements in their field by the leading technology suppliers. ME-TECH is supported and endorsed by the Gulf Petrochemicals & Chemicals Association – the GPCA.

CONFERENCE
Oil & Gas Operators and Petrochemicals Producers will hear cutting-edge technology presentations including real case studies from: UOP, Axens, KBR Technology, Foster Wheeler, Linde, Chevron Lummus Global, Uhde, Shell Global Solutions, Criterion Catalysts, Albemarle Catalysts, Honeywell Process Solutions, Invensys, Shaw Group, Siirtec Nigi, Haldor Topsoe, GTC Technology, Sulzer Chemtech, Johnson Matthey and many more...

Industry Suppliers & Service Providers (licensors, engineering & contracting companies, catalyst providers, equipment manufacturers, financial institutions, traders, training companies and consultants) will hear Keynote Addresses by some of the region’s operators including SABIC, TAKREER and Dolphin Energy. The GPCA will be giving a Keynote Address on behalf of the region’s petrochemical producers.

SEMINAR PARTNER - UOP
We are proud to announce that UOP will be holding a pre-conference seminar on Monday 24 January, just prior to ME-TECH - with parallel sessions focused on developments in refining technologies, and advances in gas processing & petrochemicals technologies. Attendance is complimentary and is open to representatives from refining, gas processing and petrochemical operating companies.

EXHIBITION, TRADESHOW & NETWORKING
We recognise that networking and having time to talk to fellow delegates is of one of the most important benefits for attendees. At ME-TECH we have provided extensive opportunities for such by creating a large exhibition area alongside the conference, long networking breaks between sessions and several social functions including a Gala Evening hosted by KBR Technology, which will take place outdoors at the stunning venue of Madinat Jumeirah.
