This event will witness the crowning of the first ever European Oil Baron and marks the introduction of the Oil Barons Ball to the global stage. Future international events are planned for Calgary (Canada), Houston (USA) and Perth (Australia) in 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively.

"As the event organisers, we thought it was high time the Middle East's beloved Oil Barons Ball stretched its wings and reflected the global nature of the industry," said Eileen Michael, Publisher, Reflex Publishing Middle East - Pipeline Magazine.

"Holding the first international Oil Barons Ball in Aberdeen, right in the heart of the energy capital of Europe, was deemed more than fitting for our first foray outside of the Middle East. We're aiming to bring the glamour of Dubai to Aberdeen, and this will be a sparkling affair attracting the crème de la crème of the global energy sector."


The Aberdeen Oil Barons Ball will be the largest sit-down meal event in Scotland for 2007 and tickets have been sold out for months for the 1,000 capacity gala affair. Heads of international oil & gas companies, VIPs and dignitaries will be taking advantage of the unparalleled opportunities to network within the industry at the event, while being entertained by a stunning set from Motown giants, the Drifters and the Four Tops.

"Pipeline Magazine plans to hold further Oil Barons Balls in unique international locations over the following three years. This is largely in response to the overwhelming industry demand we have had for this high-calibre networking event to be replicated across the globe," concluded Michael.

The traditional Oil Barons Ball in Dubai will be held at Emirates Golf Club on 9th November 2007.
