(MENAFNEditorial) The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) has announced its sponsorship of the inaugural Kuwait Oil and Gas Show & Conference (KOGS), to be held from 7-10 October 2013 in Kuwait City, Kuwait. Dow's robust portfolio of advanced solutions and service offerings is tailored for every segment of the oil and gas value chain, and will be on display at Booth 931, highlighting the company's ongoing commitment to the Middle East and specifically to the Kuwait market.
In addition to sponsoring the exhibition, Dow will participate on the panel of speakers at the conference technical sessions by delivering a paper entitled "Microbial Control Management for Oil and Gas Recovery Operation" on October 6.
Dow's presence in Kuwait, spanning 18 years, has largely been characterized by its highly successful partnership with the Petroleum Industries Company K.S.C. (PIC) in five leading joint ventures including EQUATE Petrochemical Company, MEGlobal, EQUATE Marketing Company, The Kuwait Olefins Company (TKOC) and the Kuwait Styrene Company (TKSC). Dow's participation at KOGS is further confirmation of the potential Dow sees in the Kuwait market and its commitment to supporting the growth of the local industry through its value-added technology, products and solutions.
"For almost two decades, Dow Chemical in Kuwait has driven strong local growth and innovation, as we work with our partners to share best practice and contribute to the nation's development" said Jamel Attal, managing director, Dow Kuwait. "KOGS is an ideal platform for an open discussion on the importance of investment, not only in the country's upstream sector, but further downstream in the petrochemicals arena and it is great to see Kuwait hosting a conference of this caliber.
"KOGS, organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), will incorporate a three-day international exhibition of oil and gas hardware and services, as well as a technical conference program. Held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah the Prime Minister of the State of Kuwait, the event is set to be the largest gathering of the oil and gas industry in Kuwait.
