The Oil Barons Ball attracts regional industry leaders

Posted: 8 December 2003

The Oil Barons Ball, a first-of-its-kind event in the Middle East, is attracting the attention of leading companies in the GCC

Representatives of Saudi Aramco — the world’s largest oil producing company — ADNOC, Qatar Petroleum, Kuwait Petroleum Company, BAPCO, RasGas, IADC (International Association of Drilling Contractors), the SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers), and Emarat, have all bought tickets for what promises to be the must-attend event in the energy industry calendar.

Eileen Michael, publisher of Pipeline Magazine, which is behind the ball and the Excellence in Energy Awards to be presented on the same night, said: “With the patronage of the UAE Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, His Excellency Obeid Bin Saif Al Nassiri, and the backing of major companies such as ADNOC, and organisations like the UAE Chapter of the International Association of Drilling Contractors, the appeal of the awards and the event has understandably spread further than the UAE.”

December 17 will see the crème-de-la-crème of the region’s energy industry attend Abu Dhabi’s Hotel InterContinental for a night like no other. As well as the Excellence in Energy awards — described as the ‘Oscars of the energy industry’, the night will feature a fantastic menu, live entertainment provided by one of the world’s top Beatles tribute acts — the Billy Shears Band, all topped off by a phenomenal laser, firework and light display.

Representatives of the newly-formed UAE chapter of the Society of Petroleum Engineers will also attend the glittering evening at the five star hotel.

“We are expecting hundreds of guests,” added Michael, “for what will prove to be a fantastic opportunity to network with industry peers, celebrate the successes of the regional energy industry and mark some of the key achievements of the last twelve months.”

His Excellency the oil minister will present the Excellence in Energy Awards, which are sponsored by HP, Intel and Schlumberger, to underline their commitment to the energy industry.

Part of the ticket proceeds will be given to the UAE Red Crescent Association, making the event one worthy of everyone’s support.

Tickets – US$125 each or US$950 for a full table of ten — are inclusive of food, refreshments beverages and entertainment.
