EU/Gulf conference on advanced oil and gas technologies

The European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy (DG XVII) is holding its first EU/Gulf Cooperation Council (EU/GCC) conference, in Bahrain, on 25-26 February 1997. The conference and exhibition will focus on advanced oil and gas technologies and are being organized, on behalf of the Commission, by IRO (Association of Dutch Suppliers in the Oil and Gas Industry) and PSTI (Petroleum Science and Technology Institute).

The two-day event will provide a platform for the promotion of innovative European technologies and the transfer of technology to the strategically important oil and gas producing region of the Middle East.
