The minister pointed out that the event is a great platform for large international companies specialised in the field of process engineering techniques to exchange information about the latest experiences, provide the best administrative and technical practices and review the best modern technologies and engineering solutions in raising the efficiency of work.
“Bahrain strives to attract modern technologies to contribute to the development of various projects, such as the Bahrain refinery modernisation project, the third gas plant, the liquefied gas project and the oil pipelines.
MEPEC will witness a series of specialised strategic initiatives and stimulating content with the participation of industry leaders in the oil sector to develop innovative solutions for development, Shaikh Mohammed said.
