StocExpo returns to the Middle East
Bahrain has been strategically selected for StocExpo Middle East this year, due to its proximity to the major oil markets of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Recent investment in the region has been rich, satisfying an increase in local demand as well as business for export.
Enlargement of the region’s refineries and storage facilities is coinciding with an all-time high world demand for petroleum. The petrochemicals industry in the Middle East is still in its youth and growing fast. The region also benefits from its geographical position, with Europe to the west and the booming Asian markets to the east.
This year’s event is set to follow on from last year’s success in Dubai. The exhibition and conference will expand in size compared to 2006, with additional demand from companies aspiring to target decisionmakers from the tank terminal sector.
Terminal operators have an opportunity to meet, listen to and engage in an array of sector-specific subjects relating directly to the dayto- day activities within oil and petrochemical facilities. StocExpo Middle East 2007 also invites equipment and service suppliers to tap into the import markets.
The specialist two-day conference unites a collection of expert speakers ensuring delegates are fully up-to-date on topics such as terminal security, vapour control, regulations, tank construction, terminal automation, tank cleaning and a host of other presentations, assisting companies in the safe, efficient and cost-effective operation of their terminals.
