The Offshore Middle East Advisory Board, Chaired by Mubarak A. Al-Hajri, Operations Manager, Offshore Fields, Qatar Petroleum, already includes members from such influential local and international organizations, such as Qatar Petroleum, Total E&P Qatar, Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Co. and Qatar Shell Service Company WLL.

"We are delighted to welcome our new Advisory Board members, providing great assistance in ensuring that we continue to provide a comprehensive technical conference to those who attend Offshore Middle East 2013," said David Paganie, Chief Editor of Offshore Magazine and Conference Director, PennWell. "With the guidance of Mubarak A.

Offshore Middle East 2013 will gather over 40 speakers from leading organizations around the world expected to present the very latest knowledge and technology within the oil & gas exploration and production industry.

After recently announcing the inclusion of a Gas Industry Operations track at Offshore Middle East 2013, the Advisory Board will soon provide further information regarding the proposed session topics that will form the conference program. This was discussed at the recent Advisory Board meeting, which took place in Doha, Qatar, as was the Call for Abstracts deadline, which has provisionally been set for 22nd November 2011. The Advisory Board also confirmed their next meeting will take place in January 2012, to discuss the abstracts, and with the aim of issuing the preliminary conference program shortly after.
