Testimonials

It is important to have an event like ‘Offshore Arabia’, as we have to find a way to protect our environment and exchange knowledge and experiences with others. As we know that the Arabian Gulf is the largest source for Oil and Gas, it is our duty to insure we hand over the environment

to our children as we have received it from our forefathers.

Capt. Bader Zaid Al-AzemiTeam Leader Marine OperationKuwait Oil Company

The theme of the conference covers 86% of the objective. Offshore Arabia is important and more than 45% of the crude Oil is from the GCC region. And also we need to have coordination and collaboration with the Oil companies. The Topics discussed by the Speakers and the

new Technology displayed at the Exhibition make the Event important.

Ali Raja AkshananiManager Oil SPill, Emergency ResponseQatar Petroleum - Qatar

We have met many companies offering new technologies and we have tried to attract them to register with us. This event is very important for us as a company as the offshore field needs specialized companies which are not easy to find. At Offshore Arabia, these companies try to

target the oil companies at the expo to show them the technologies they have, some of which might have not been introduced to the gulf countries yet.

Khalis M. Al-OtaibiContracts Planner - Contract DepartmentAl Khafji Joint Operation - KSA
