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.

Malaysians ushered in the new year by letting their hair down at several countdown parties. Anyway, as reported by local newspaper today, despite concerns over the turbulent state of the economy, many were intent on having fun ushering in 2009 which was greeted by some fearsome fireworks displays. At Dataran Merdeka here, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad and AmBank Group chairman Tan Sri Datuk Azman Hashim joined the crowd for the countdown organised by the bank. They were entertained by artistes such as M. Nasir, Mawi, popular bands Point Blanc, Hujan, Estranged and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall orchestra as well as performances by various cultural troupes including the orang asli. As the Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad clocktower struck twelve, there were shouts of “Happy New Year” and cheers. The crowd was then treated to a spectacular fireworks show. Parties were also held at KLCC and Bukit Bintang.
Meanwhile, In PETALING JAYA, the festivities centered on 1 Utama shopping complex with samba dancers, fire eaters and Brazilian percussionists adding colour before a line-up of artistes took to the stage. Deejays from the 988 radio station played games and gave away prizes to the partygoers. The highlight of the celebration was the special appearance of Hong Kong singer Justin Lo, who got the crowd going with his catchy pop tunes. A stone’s throw away at The Curve, artistes Juwita Suwito, Karen Kong, Faisal Tahir and Rynn Lim entertained the crowd at a street party.
