The combined event will provide access to more than 300 hours of specialised content including in excess of 400 technical papers covering 11 topics such as exploration and production, reservoir, drilling & completions, human resources, health, safety, security, and the environment.

“The merger has evolved two stalwarts of the region's oil and gas calendar into a powerhouse showcase that will provide a more focussed platform for the scrutiny and advancement of the wider hydrocarbons and geosciences sector,” commented Mohammed Ebrahim, Director of organiser Informa Markets, the world's leading exhibition organizer.“The joint showcase brings together a successful legacy of more than 40 years of event and sector-specific expertise in providing a platform to share ideas, experiences, and solutions for oil & gas.

“The union captures the upstream oil & gas industry's full value chain under one roof, offering a unique opportunity to demonstrate a range of technical expertise and innovative solutions across petroleum engineering and geoscience disciplines and opportunities for collaboration.

The MEOS GEO 2023 conference will feature six high-level panel sessions probing global industry issues, including sustainability, investments, supply chain, geopolitics, integration, 4IR and talent 4.0. A Ministerial Panel scheduled for February 19 will see H.E. Dr. Mohamed bin Mubarak Bin Daina, Bahrain's Minister of Oil and Environment and Special Envoy for Climate Affairs, and H.E.

Al-Naimi, Executive Vice President Upstream, Saudi Aramco; Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Halliburton; Clay Neff Jr., President, Chevron International Exploration and Production and Lorenzo Simonelli, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Baker Hughes.
The conference agenda has been produced by a committee of oil & gas leaders drawn from NOCs, IOCs, service companies and academia, in co-operation with the world's two largest professional oil & gas associations: the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG).

“Committee members have ensured the conference agenda maintains its unique technical focus with special relevance to the Middle East,” explained 2023 Committee Chair, Faisal N. Al Nughaimish, Vice President & Chief Drilling Engineer, Saudi Aramco.“The conference theme - Today's Realities, Tomorrow's Energy - reflects the current landscape of the evolving industry and future solutions, where new technologies, efficiency developments, innovations, and IR 4.0 and AI implementations will be showcased. This year's selected technical and panel sessions are not only based on topics important to the oil and gas business, but the interlace of global matters and our industry.”
