OPEX MENA 2018 HIGHLIGHTS

Operational efficiency and safety are of paramount importance for companies across all sectors. Only when organisations decide to build long-term stability and sustainability into their operational strategies and invest into safety culture, workforce competence and operational readiness, will they be equipped to capitalize on upswings in a measured and profitable way.

With these challenges in mind, key players are meeting at OPEX MENA 2018, organised under the Patronage of H.E. Shaikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Minister of Oil, co-hosted by the National Oil & Gas Authority (NOGA) and with Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO) as principal sponsor.

On the 26th and 27th March, participants discussed best practices for creating competitive advantage and maximizing profitability of their assets.
