Middle East Steel Conference for Oil and Gas
 

MIDDLE EAST STEEL CONFERENCE (MESC)

The MESC 2014 for Oil and Gas will be held from October 21st – 23rd, at The Intercontinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City, Dubai, UAE.

The Theme for MESC 2014 is “Enhancing the quality of steel in the Middle East” and its objective is to create a forum for facilitating the exchange of practical experiences in all aspects of steel production and protection engineering in addition to seeking solutions to the various challenges that materials engineers face.

MESC 2014 will provide an excellent opportunity for regional and international steel producers and related services companies on steel protection and product technology, to connect, network and discuss how to develop innovative ideas and industry solutions that address the growing needs of the oil and gas industries.

Some of the main topics that will be addressed during the technical program of the conference are, enhancing Communication Between Steel Mills, Pipe Manufactures, Construction Makers and End Users. In addition, the conference will address the challenges that engineers face to enhance the life of steel structures using the latest applicable technologies.

MESC 2014 will attract hundreds of international companies, professionals and scientists taking part in the different features of the conference that include sponsorship, exhibition, technical presentation and or simply as delegates. The technical program will feature specialized topics best aimed to meet the needs of material/steel engineers from within the oil & gas sector.
