Latest Media Information:
The
leading Petroleum Conference & Consulting Company Euro Petroleum
Consultants has announced the programme for ME-TECH 2013 - their annual Middle
East Technology Forum. The event, taking place next February, will be the 3rd
edition and will be held once more in the grand surroundings of the Madinat
Jumeirah Conference Centre in Dubai. The conference has proven to be the
essential meeting place for the Middle East Downstream Industry and an
excellent platform to keep up-to-date with the latest key projects & technologies
in this important region.
The Forum will take
place over two days; running with two parallel conference streams on each day.
Day 1 will focus on
latest technological developments in the Gas
Processing & Oil Refining sectors with a strong focus on the key global
market factors and their impact on the industrial development in the Gulf
region.
Special attention
will be paid to the impact of the US shale gas boom on Global LNG and
Petrochemicals; the effects of the high crude oil price: impact on margins;
latest proven technologies for clean fuels and how fuel substitution &
energy efficiency could lead to a Zero (net) carbon Refinery.
Important areas to
be covered in these two streams also include monetization of unconventional gas
(shale gas, coal-bed methane), project updates on large scale urea plants, main
issues of sour gas field development, accelerating process & catalyst development
for syngas.
One paper expected
to attract high interest is the presentation from FERTIL, which will focus on
their highly anticipated Urea project – FERTIL-2.
The plant, located
in the Ruwais Industrial Zone, will produce ammonia and urea, with a production
capacity of 2,000MTPD and 3,500MTPD respectively. The start-up of the plant is planned
for January 2013 and is one of the most discussed fertiliser projects in the
region.
Day 2 of the conference will
provide insight into development trends, major producer perspectives,
technology updates and optimization strategies in Residue Upgrading & Petrochemicals sectors.
The Residue
Upgrading stream will also include presentations by Chevron Lummus Global, UOP,
Grace and many more.
NRL Pakistan will
present at ME-TECH 2013 a joint paper with UOP looking at investing in the
heavy oil refinery expansion project.
Taking a closer look
at the Petrochemicals Stream, there will be wide ranging topics presented such
as Refinery & petrochemical integration; Technology updates: Ethylene
Technology, Propylene production, Synthetic rubbers; Optimisation Strategies
& Tools: Life Cycle Management
Tools, Beyond Asset Monitoring for Improved Reliability, Standardising &
Accelerating R&D.
At the end of each
day there will be a Round Table
Discussions aimed to provide the delegates with the opportunity to exchange
professional points of view, suggestions and ideas.
The Middle East
Downstream Sector is facing numerous challenges including low margins,
overcapacity and increasingly stringent quality environmental regulations (such
as CO2 emissions) - meaning that the role of technology providers is now more
important than ever to look at ways to improve efficiency and to process
heavier sour crudes.
Adapted Technology
solutions will help plant operators improve margins, move ahead of the
competition and optimize their potential in this ever-changing market
environment.
In the current climate,
downstream industry professionals realize that in-depth industry knowledge,
expertise and flexibility are imperative for success. For this reason specialised
industry events are the ideal way for sharing ideas, exchanging practical
advice/experience with their international colleagues, business partners and
potential clients.
ME-TECH 2013 will be
directly followed by the Russia & CIS Executive Summit – an event uniting top
executives of the Downstream Industry, consultants, investors and financial
institutions to discuss their strategies and business vision for the Russia
& CIS markets.
