An explosion occured at the refinery.
It's been an interesting few days for the oil and gas industry in the Middle East as two big conferences drew delegates from all over the world.
The International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) brought the big guns from the oilfield services sector to Doha in Qatar to discuss the industry and try and seal a deal or two for 2010. It's not often you see a big beast like Schlumberger CEO Andrew Gould walking around an exhibition hall chatting to a senior executive or two from Saudi Aramco before moving on to the ADNOC and Qatar Petroleum stands.
The general consensus at IPTC was that 2009 has turned out to be not so nearly as bad as everyone was expecting and there was some actual optimism floating around as talk turned to the next two to three years. And as mentioned earlier in the week, the food and drink on offer was seriously good. Not that... more...

An explosion occured at the refinery.
The Saudi Arabian oil minister Ali Al-Naimi made light work of the baying crowd of journalists hoping for a scoop from the hydrocarbons industry legend.
After making the keynote speech to the GPCA Forum currently being held in Dubai, Al-Naimi opened up the floor, but warned delegates that he would not be answering any questions regarding the forthcoming OPEC meeting in Angola, OPEC production quotas or oil prices.
Not to be put off, a large crowd of industry hacks waited outside the conference hall hoping that Al-Naimi would have a change of heart on the way to his car - he didn't.
In fact the the Saudi oil chief didn't even stay to pick up a free stress ball and pen combo from the SABIC stand.
Stay tuned to the blog because ArabianOilandGas.com will keep you posted about all the goings on from the GPCA over the next two days.

An explosion occured at the refinery.
ArabianOilandGas.com attended the excellent International Petroleum Technology Conference in Doha yesterday.
The turnout was impressive and the attendees at the event read like a who's who of the Middle East hydrocarbons industry and all the big beasts of the oil and gas jungle, Aramco, ADNOC, QP, KOC etc were showing a strong presence.
The exhibitors hall was packed and some delegates looked like they could give a footballer's wife a run for their money with the amount of goodie bags they were laden down with.
The food on offer at the stands was of an incredibly good standard too. At some conferences a pipe of Pringles and a bowl of mints is about your lot., but at ITPC delegates were treated to roast beef and horseradish finger sandwiches (Schlumberger), luxury stuffed dates (Aramco naturally) and Baker Hughes even had a scaled-down branch... more...

An explosion occured at the refinery.
Still no news regarding India’s Reliance Industries proposed acquisition of the US petrochemicals giant LyondellBasell Industries.
If they do one of our readers and occasional blog contributor will be happy that a company that he predicted would become one of the world’s leading petrochemicals companies is putting its money where, er, Leslie's mouth is.
Leslie McCune, managing director of Chemical Management Resources Ltd tipped Reliance way back in October. Here is a excerpt from his blog post:
My bets are that the Indian company Reliance will be in the 2014 Top 10 list. Mr Ambani and Co have done an excellent job at bringing up the refinery/petchem complex in Jamnagar and we can see interesting alliance opportunities for the ambitious Reliance team in Asia and the Middle East.
Well done Leslie – if you can provide... more...
