Oil and Gas Asia 2009


OGA 2009 : THE PREFERRED CHOICE FOR THE REGIONAL OIL & GAS INDUSTRY



With over two decades of experience, OGA has established itself as the
premier event for buyers and vendors in the Asia-Pacific region.



Taking place once every two years, OGA provides the region oil industry
professionals with an opportunity to network, share knowledge and most
importantly, to close deals.



Malaysia The Regional Centre For Deepwater Development



PETRONAS, the national oil company of Malaysia, has over half a million
sq km of exploration acreage of which 24% is in deepwater.



As Deepwater exploration and production is expected to be critical for
securing future reserves, investment in deepwater technology will
increase from 18% (currently) to 25% by 2011. It is also estimated by
2010 30% of national oil production will be from deepwater fields.



Malaysia is committed to becoming the regional hub for deepwater
exploration. There are tremendous opportunities in many key technology
areas including Topside Design, Risers, Pipelines, SubSea Modules and
Installation and Well Intervention to name but a few.



Oil and Gas Asia, now the biggest oil and gas show in the region, is
ideally positioned for companies looking to expand in this exciting
region.



Offshore Capital Expenditure At An All Time High



Forecasts show that in the Asia Pacific region, 42 floating production
units will be deployed through 2012. This is the largest number of units
for any geographical region.



With Indonesia, China and Malaysia continuing to invest in deepwater
facilities and increased shallow water deployments in Vietnam, Cambodia
and The Philippines, there has never been a better time to make OGA 2009
an integral part of your company’s marketing strategy.
