The Conference

Discover the future of oil and gas at the MEOS 2017 conference, with unique insights on the region’s mega projects, new technologies, case studies and topical discussions led by international industry leaders.

Of paramount importance to the continuing success of MEOS is its Middle East focused conference programme. Organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) in collaboration with a committee of regional and international oil company representatives, over the years it has evolved into the largest and best attended technical event of its kind in the region.

The conference typically features over 300 high quality technical presentations, a series of panel sessions led by presidents, vice presidents, CEOs, deputy managing directors, and chairmen of key players and a high ranking collection of keynote speakers.

By providing high quality presentations focused on Middle East issues, the quality of delegates is exceptional and unique.

The SPE has unrivalled experience in organising petroleum conferences around the world. At MEOS their skills are matched with unequivocal support from the region’s national and international oil companies. This support, in tandem with participation from suppliers of products and services to the region, has maintained MEOS’ position as the best petroleum conference in the region.
