The 9th Middle East Refining and Petrochemicals Conference & Exhibition 2014 was held over a fourday period from May 18 to 21, 2014 at the 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 oilrefining and petrochemical industries. It is organized and sponsored by state-run oil companies and petrochemical companies in the Middle East region (Saudi Aramco, BAPCO, ADNOC, QP, KPC, etc.), as well as global oil and petrochemical companies (Axens, Honeywell UOP, etc.). Themed on “Downstream Value Chain Integration Opportunities,” this year’s event opened on May 18 with a plenary session, in which opening addresses were given by H.E. Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Chairman, National Oil & Gas Authority (NOGA), Bahrain; and Mr. Omar Bazuhair, Executive Director, Refining & NGL Fractionation, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia. In addition to various sessions and workshops, the event also featured an exhibition by more than 80 companies. JCCP participated in the exhibition for the sixth time this year, staffed by Yoshishige Tsujimura and Misako Iwase from the Planning & Public Relations Group in the Administration Department.
