Official delegations from 16 countries expected to attend ADIPEC 2004

'The fact that a number of official delegations will be attending ADIPEC reiterates the pre-eminent status that ADIPEC has come to occupy among the oil and gas industry events held worldwide,' said Mr. Ahmad Humaid Al Mazrouie, Director General, General Exhibitions Corporations, the organisers of ADIPEC 2004.

Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Sudan, Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, Iran, the US, Syria, Turkmenistan and Russia are expected to send official delegations to ADIPEC. An Australian delegation has already confirmed its attendance.

ADIPEC 2004 will be held 10th - 13th October at the Abu Dhabi International Exhibition & Conference Centre and will feature not only manufactures of oil and gas products, technology and service providers, but the all important end users who stand to benefit from these products, services and technology. This makes ADIPEC the only 'Total oil and gas show' in the world.

The significance of ADIPEC to the global oil and gas industry has attracted leading sponsors such as; ADNOC, BP, Baker Hughes, ExxonMobil, Schlumberger, Shell & TOTAL, INPEX Corporation - JODCO and Emirates Holdings, as well as ETIHAD AIRWAYS - the National Airline of the UAE.

The exhibitor list for the 2004 edition of ADIPEC reads like a ' who's who of the industry ' - Saudi Aramco, Petroleum Development Oman, Qatar Petroleum, Dolphin Energy, Kuwait Petroleum , Sonatrach, SINOPEC Corporation, STATOIL, Japan Oil & Gas & Metals National Corporation, besides ADNOC and its Group of Companies. International oil majors like BP, Baker Hughes, ExxonMobil, Halliburton, Schlumberger, Shell and TOTAL have significantly expanded their presence at this edition, as compared to the previous show held two years ago.
