OGS – Oil and Gas
Linking the upstream and downstream value chains
The Oil and Gas segment of the OGS is currently in its 15th year, and has established itself as a regional platform for procurement and networking in the conventional energy sector.
For 2008, the Oil and Gas segment is expanding and renewing its format in response to market needs. The show’s traditional downstream trade and procurement focus is augmented by an upstream networking forum, creating an ideal venue for oil and gas producers to strengthen business ties.

Fourteen successful iterations have established it as the premier networking forum for Oil, Natural Gas and Energy producers to meet service providers, engineers and suppliers. The show has distinguished itself as a calendar for the Oil & Gas Industry, where networking is complemented by confirmed business transactions at the venue.
