Petro.t.ex Africa 2009

March 2009 News

With 95% of the world’s transport petroleum-based, there are few industries not heavily dependent on oil. “Until more sustainable, ‘greener’ technologies are developed, petrochemicals will remain the major energy source of the world,” says John Thomson of Exhibition Management Services, organisers of the Petro.t.ex Africa 2009 exhibition. The event takes place from 9 to 11 June at Gallagher Estate in Midrand.

“Underestimating our collective dependence on petroleum would be a mistake,” continues Thomson. “Not only is it cheap, it is the most abundant energy source ever known to humanity. Without it, our global economy would come to a halt. But the global pressure is on to introduce ‘greener’, more sustainable technologies and processes into the upstream, midstream and downstream petrochemicals industry.”

Petro.t.ex Africa 2009 will highlight new developments, major projects, innovations and trends in the midstream sector of the sub-Saharan oil and gas economy. “Delegates at Petro.t.ex Africa 2009 will have an opportunity to explore new developments, technologies and trends to positively change the manner in which we address our dire energy issue in South Africa,” explains Thomson.

The event

Petro.t.ex Africa 2009 is an exhibition for suppliers to oil refineries, petrochemical plants, oil and gas installations and pipelines. This exhibition will concentrate on the technological developments and service aspects of the industry, such as:

* Technology, plant and equipment for gas-to-liquids (GTL).

* Liquefied natural gas (LNG).

* Liquid petroleum gas (LPG).

* Petroleum and petrochemical.

* Pipelines.

* Refineries.

* Transport.

* Storage facilities.

Siemens is sponsoring a powerful networking platform for all Petro.t.ex participants. One-on-one meetings for all registered exhibitors, visitor and conference delegates will be organised.
