Transformation, diversification and evolution will be top keywords at the world’s leading annual conference for oil and gas professionals, the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), as the industry readies itself for future challenges and opportunities.
ADIPEC is renowned as a global hub for knowledge exchange in the hydrocarbon business, with its landmark technical conference organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). The four-day event brings together more than 10,000 delegates, including industry professionals, thought leaders and experts, to share cutting edge technical advances through 119 highly specialised technical conference sessions.
Alongside these, eight Technical Industry Panel Sessions will also offer fresh insights into some of the big-picture operational challenges that oil and gas professionals face today, and will face in the years ahead.
A further six technical sessions, organised by dmg Events, will focus on the downstream sector. These are part of ADIPEC 2017’s expanded scope to include the downstream sector in its programme, such as petroleum processing and refining, for the first time.
“ADIPEC drives the oil and gas agenda, from government ministers and CEOs, through professionals in a wide range of technical and operational roles,†said Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Al Yasat Petroleum CEO and ADIPEC 2017 Chairman.
Distinguished companies sharing their technical knowledge and expertise include: ADNOC Gas Processing; engineering and construction group Fluor; polyolefin plastics manufacturer, Borouge; Spanish integrated oil and gas company, Cepsa; Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC);
Microsoft; and ABB.
Panelists taking part in the
sessions come from leading
organisations, including oil supermajors, national oil companies, and top oilfield services companies, and diverse backgrounds will ensure panels offer a truly global perspective.
ADIPEC will be held at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from November 13 to 16.
