The 8th Middle East Refining and Petrochemicals Conference & Exhibition 2012 was held over a fourday period from May 20 to 23, 2012 in an international exhibition center in Bahrain.
Petrotech is a large-scale international convention that is held every two years in Bahrain to promote the development and exchange of technologies in the oil-refining and petrochemical industries. The organizing committee and sponsors of the event include state-run oil companies and petrochemical companies in the Middle East region (Saudi Aramco, BAPCO, ADNOC, QP, KPC, etc.) and Western oil and petrochemical companies (ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, Foster Wheeler, etc.). Under this year’s theme of “Creating Value: Technology, Investment & People,” the conference part of the event featured four keynote presentations, eleven guest-of-honor speeches and a large number of presentations, and the exhibition part featured showcases by more than 80 companies in the oil industry. JCCP participated in the Petrotech exhibition for the fifth time this year, and sent Tetsuji Kubota, Senior Counselor, Training Dept.; Hisayoshi Tanda, General Manager, Planning & Coordination, Administration Dept.; and Masumi Kitahara, Manager, Public Relations, to staff the JCCP booth.
