TheRoleofCTMCinAligningtheGCCwithGlobalRegulations
As the global energy industry evolves, strict adherence to custody transfer and flow measurement standards is essential to ensure transparency, accuracy, and commercial confidence in international trade. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries play a central role in this landscape as major energy producers and exporters. CTMC (Custody Transfer & Metering Conference) serves as a dedicated technical forum supporting the alignment of GCC practices with internationally recognised frameworks, including API standards and EU/UK regulatory requirements
WhyStandardsMatter
In custody transfer, measurement accuracy is non-negotiable. International standards establishconsistentrequirementsforflowmeasurement,sampling,calibration,andverification reducing uncertainty and protecting value for all parties involved. For GCC operators and regulators, alignment with these standards enhances credibility, supports market access, and ensuresthatsystemsmeetgloballyacceptedbenchmarksforsafety,efficiency,andprecision.

CTMC 2026 DAMMAM | SAUDI ARABIA
Dammam, located in Saudi Arabia, has historically been a significant hub for the oil and gas industry. Often referred to as the "Energy Capital of Saudi Arabia," the city's oil and gas sector has played a pivotal role in the kingdom's energy landscape. However, the state of the oil and gas industry in Dammam has evolved over the years, and its current status is influenced by a combination of factors
Dammam's association with the oil and gas industry dates back to the discovery of oil reserves in the 1930s. The subsequent boom in drilling and production activities contributed significantly to the city's growth and prosperity.
In recent years, the industry has faced various challenges, including fluctuating oil prices, aging infrastructure, and environmental concerns. This has led to a need for innovation, cost reduction, and an increased focus on sustainability
Dammam's oil and gas sector has recognized the importance of diversification. The city has been working to expand its expertise and facilities into renewable energy sources, such as solar and hydrogen, to reduce its reliance on traditional hydrocarbons.
Looking ahead, CTMC 2026 will be held in Dammam, providing a platform for the global metering community to gather, share insights, and explore the latest innovations in the industry. This event will further cement Dammam's status as a key player in the global energy sector and its commitment to a sustainable future.
