Welcome to ME-TECH 2011 The Middle East is undergoing rapid development with many ongoing and newly planned projects in the Gas, Refining and Petrochemical sectors. The region is of great interest to technology suppliers, contractors and equipment manufacturers and for this reason EPC have decided to organize ME-TECH in Dubai. METECH will be the first event in the region to focus on technology developments in all of these sectors. Leading technology companies will present their latest developments as well as case studies on commercial experience. ME-TECH will provide an opportunity for specialists from regional Oil & Gas Companies to become updated with the latest technological developments for improving profitability in each of the downstream sectors.
EPC Conferences are the most interesting forums for oil refiners, where the most up to date technology developments are presented. Such conferences allow specialists to exchange fresh ideas and keep up to date with the development of the Russian and international downstream industries. Rinat Galiev General Director, VNII NP
