The Energy Industries Council is once again proud to be organising the UK group at MEOS in Bahrain from 16 – 18 March 2009.

*** Prices for both space and stand construction for the UK Group at
MEOS 2009 have been frozen at 2007 prices ***

The benefits of exhibiting through the UK Group are:

“EIC provide an excellent service which enables small companies to participate in exhibitions and shows around the world, which otherwise they would be unable to attend.” – William Wood, Sciencesoft

“We chose to participate in MEOS to gain access to contacts from Saudi Arabia.  The proportion of visitors from Saudi Arabia was high and afforded us an opportunity to meet contacts that would otherwise be impractical.” – Ian Laing, OPITO

“The support from all of the organising UK staff (EIC, OES & Embassy) has been excellent.” – Hazel Bonner, Quest Geo Solutions Ltd

Why exhibit at MEOS

Taking place for the 16th time, MEOS continues to enjoy the unwavering support of the Gulf’s National Oil companies, all of which take centre piece stands in the exhibition. These organisations including Saudi Aramco, regard MEOS as the most important petroleum engineering conference in the Middle East. This high status is demonstrated by the large numbers of senior delegates who attend the event.

MEOS produced over 6000 trade visitors and conference delegates from through the GCC countries in 2007. It is confidently expected that the attendance at MEOS 2009 will be considerably larger. International oil companies active in the Middle East’s petroleum industry are using MEOS to meet the region’s decision makers.

MEOS is privileged to receive the full support of senior technical staff from the following national oil companies:

MEOS 2009 will take place at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre, a modern exhibition and conference complex offering some of the finest exhibition facilities in the Middle East.  It is situated within 5 minutes of downtown Manama and close to all major hotels.

MEOS 2007 attracted delegates and visitors from the following countries:

The job title / function

Reservoir, Pipeline, Process, Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineers
Refinery Managers

Marine, Rig, Drilling Rig and Supply Vessel Managers and Operators

286 companies from 28 different countries exhibited at MEOS 2007

Why Bahrain?
The meeting place for the Gulf’s Petroleum Industry

Bahrain is a cluster of islands in the Arabian Gulf which has long been famed for its hospitality, pure drinking water and trade. Today Bahrain’s hospitality includes many first class hotels and restaurants, offering refreshment and relaxation to all. Its suitability as a place in which to do trade now has international recognition: the World Trade Organisation rates Bahrain as the best place in the Gulf in which to do business.
In more recent times it was the first country in the Middle East to find and produce oil. This is not so surprising when you consider that Bahrain is surrounded by most of the world’s petroleum reserves.

Aramco’s headquarters in the Eastern Province are just over the causeway, Also within easy reach are Qatar, Iran, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi. This combination of factors is tailor-made for the Middle East’s oil and gas industry. If you have not been to Bahrain before, there has never been a better time.

There are three cost elements involved in exhibiting as part of the UK Group, as detailed below:- 

The provision of space, arrangements for design and construction of stands and the administration and co-ordination of the UK group are referred to in EIC's Terms and Conditions as the 'Services'.
