Shell
at MEOS 2003
Posted: 1 June 2003
Shell's leading technologies can play a pivotal role in developing
the Middle East's oil and gas industry, one of the world's most
important petroleum conferences will hear in June.
Delegates at the Middle East Oil and Gas Show 2003 (MEOS) in Bahrain
from 9-12 June will learn how Shell's latest technical breakthroughs
can be applied to operations in their own countries.
Shell will have a major presence at MEOS 2003 with 16 leading technologists
presenting technical papers at the conference and a large stand
in the adjoining exhibition.
The show, expected to draw thousands to the Bahrain International
Exhibition Centre, is considered one of the most important events
in the oil and gas industry calendar. It is held biennially and
attracts key industry players from the Middle East and beyond including
representatives from governments, national and international oil
companies.
Dave Stuart, external affairs manager for Shell's Middle East Business
Relations team, said the Shell stand at the exhibition would feature
mini-presentations by Shell experts on technologies of particular
relevance to the Middle East. "We will have information on
a host of different subjects including Gas To Liquids, 4D seismic
and the underbalanced drilling technique which enables higher rates
of production. There will be a special section on monodiameter wells
which allow deeper drilling while decreasing waste products and
saving time and money."
The Shell stand will also contain information on how Shell is contributing
to the Middle Eastern societies in which it operates. One of the
projects featured is a programme to 'green the desert' by using
water produced from oil and gas reservoirs for irrigation.
Shell's presence at MEOS 2003 will also feature a lighter side.
The stand includes a Ferrari F1 car with a pit stop challenge where
teams can compete against each other to be the fastest to change
a wheel.
Mr Stuart added: "Shell has a long history in the Middle East
and has been operating in some countries for more than 100 years.
Our involvement at MEOS 2003 is about building on our reputation
as a good partner, continuing the relationships and the partnerships
we have developed in the Middle East and underlining Shell's commitment
to the region."
