In keeping with previous years, In Depth and Practical Workshops on topical issues that contribute to enhancing efficient operations will be presented in the first three days of SOGAT 2018 and will cover: Practical Amine Treating, Sulphur Recovery Practice and Design and the key aspects 0f Sour Oil & Gas Process Optimisation plus other technical issues of current comcern. Thus given the expansion of the workshop programmes timetables to benefit attendees by going into more depth in these critical technical issues, it allows the conference programme to be more focused over a 2 day period which in turn brings time and cost benefits to companies registering delegates. Consequently to reflect these new arrangements, SOGAT 2018 will operate under the theme “ Enhancing Cost Effective Sour Hydrocarbon Treatment“. Given the support of ADNOC with an expected large delegation participating, the SOGAT Exhibition will see leading vendors and suppliers participating and thus SOGAT 2018 will continue its well known trend and reputation, as the international event that provides a one stop review of all the latest developments in global sour hydrocarbon management.
