ADNOC to host the worlds leading gas sweetening event

Next month will see the leading international experts gathering in Abu Dhabi at SOGAT 2014 to debate the latest technologies used in converting Sour Gas into sweet gas that is required for usage throughout the UAE and the Gulf region generally to support the ongoing infrastructure, power and petrochemical requirements. This event is one of the world’s best known oil & gas processing events and is celebrating its 10th anniversary. This year there will be Workshops on the lessons learned from sulphur plant operations, amine treatment, process optimization, gas compression, the sulphur supply chain and the key aspects of contamination removal. The latter workshop is one of the key themes of the event as a whole with new exhibitors from China complimenting the major international process separation companies in the SOGAT Exhibition. Other new exhibitors will be showing their expertise with process simulation tools for designing complicated refineries and gas processing plants.
 
The SOGAT conference will be opened by Khalid Sahouh, Senior Vice President of ADCO.  Some 30 papers will be presented on all major areas of Sour Oil and Gas Technology innovations and developments, at a time when the BAB ultra sour field development is beginning, as ADNOC and Shell form a company to commence its exploration and production. Another important aspect of the Conference will be the presentation from the Qatari Ministry of Energy & Industry on their Carbon Capture plans and it will focus on the Dukhan Jaleha EOR Pilot project. This presentation is very timely for the region given the recent agreement between ADNOC and Masdar on similar plans for UAE.
 
SOGAT 2014 runs from March 23rd until the 27th and more is available at www.sogat.org
