The Gulf Downstream Association (GDA) was founded by Saudi Aramco, Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO), Kuwait Petroleum International (KPI), Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), as a non-profit organisation that aims at exchanging knowledge, experiences, and best practices, while raising the efficiency of employees in the sector of refining, distribution and associated facilities, as well as contributing to the economic and social development of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. We bring together downstream companies, service providers, governmental organisations, and academic institutions on a common platform where they can benefit from each other’s knowledge and expertise.
