Officially supported by:

As a professional in Oman’s oil and gas industry, you may already be aware that revenue from this sector is expected to reach RO 7.2 billion in 2012 - an increase of 22.5 % when compared to 2011. In addition, the demand for power and water is expected to rise 9% every year according to the Oman Power and Water Procurement Company. This makes way for the development of Greenfield and Brownfield EPC projects within both the oil and gas and power and water sectors. Oman’s demand for oil and gas has led to large scale expansion, explo-ration projects and the subsequent requirement for EPC Projects in order to enhance production and meet demand. However, the project owners - government authorities, oil & gas companies and power & water companies have identified a number of challenges they face when tendering and managing EPC projects. These include: how to select an appropriate EPC contractor, collaborating successfully with project stakehold-ers to deliver the project within budget and time constraints, a lack of clearly defined responsibilities and accountabilities, a lack of a proven successful finance model and difficulty in communicating their requirements to the EPC contractor.

In order to help address these challenges, IQPC Oman has put together the first ever Oman EPC Projects summit to help project owners to ensure all their EPC projects meet the requirements in a timely and cost effective manner, to find the right source of funding and develop an efficient procurement process in order to minimise risks and additional costs. The summit will also allow the EPC contractor to clearly understand the client requirements in order to align their company and become a successful bidder for future EPC projects.

Oman EPC Projects 2012 will offer you the opportunity to attend 2 days of exclusive workshops led by international EPC and construction projects experts.

During interactive group sessions, you will review in more depth critical issues discussed during the main conference and uncover practical solutions that you can apply in your organisation to ensure the successful delivery of EPC projects.

This is a must attend event for Omani government authorities, public and private EPC project owners, EPC contractors and sub-contractors, consultants, legal and financial experts, construction equipment and technology solution suppliers.
