About Us

The Oil & Gas sector of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) remains the richest and most exciting market on earth. Fraught with political and cultural difficulties, often inaccessible through difficult geography, nothing will deter both local and foreign majors from maximising the greatest reserves on earth.

Over recent months, the MENA Oil & Gas sector has seen a period of unparalleled growth, with new and exciting upstream and downstream projects planned across the entire region. The importance of the MENA region to the global oil and gas markets cannot be underestimated. MENA’s combined Oil & Gas export revenues will rise from US$320 billion currently to US$635 billion by 2030. 

Country by country exploration, production and delivery challenges can vary dramatically. Consistently, however, regional stakeholders are constrained by deficiencies in its human resources, the technology base and in the huge investment needed for implementing an expansion strategy. All of the operators appear to be on a constant search for innovative drilling technologies and any new technology that can improve performance or reduce costs, specialist expertise in the areas of environmental engineering, plant safety; field development modeling, plant optimization and modernization of refining processes are all areas where multi-billion dollar foreign partnerships are taking place.

Hugely ambitious projects for pipelining infrastructure are underway and many more planned, linking the region to the foreign market and most operators readily admit to huge gaps in their supply chain and are working to streamline marketing and distribution facilities.

NextGen O&G MENA is the definitive publication for regional stakeholders and service companies to read about the MENA projects, technologies and strategies affecting their group. It provides specific focus upon the MENA region’s unexplored oil and gas reserves, distribution challenges, developments in refining and petrochemical projects and future prospects for regional development.

Supported by contributing editorial from regional Oil & Gas majors – such as the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, Syrian Petroleum Company and the Egyptian Holding Company and leading analysts like IDC and Praxis Global Research – NextGen O&G MENA will be hand delivered to 30,000 decision-makers in February and November of each year
