Business-As-Usual In 2015 As UAE’s Oil Giants Take Long Term View On 

Production Rates 

(12 April 2015) 

With nearly 100 billion barrels in reserves, the UAE can be forgiven for not being too alarmed by 

the current dip in global oil pricing. 

And with nearly 92 billion of those barrels in Abu Dhabi alone, much of it in Zakum field – the Middle 

East region’s third largest – one can begin to understand better the patient, long term view which the 

country’s leaders have chosen to adopt. 

The UAE currently produces around three million barrels of oil per day, and that figure, say industry 

sources, is not likely to be scaled back any time soon. 

Industry experts are confident that Abu Dhabi’s energy sector will continue to demonstrate 

resilience, with investment targets remaining as planned. 

Bloomberg, in January 2015, quoted the UAE’s Minister of Energy, H.E. Suhail Al Mazroui, as saying 

the UAE will not change its development plans due to crude price fluctuations. 

“Most of the projects are committed and under construction, and we don’t foresee any delays on the 

capacity expansion,” he said. “But building the capacity is something and using it is something else. 

We will always be wise and considerate of the world supply and demand.” 

One such committed project is the 40-year concession granted by Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum 

Council to French giant, Total, which took effect from 1 January of this year. Under the new 

arrangement, the company will aim for a 70 percent recovery rate from the ADCO oilfields. 

US industry leader, ExxonMobil, is also squarely focused on development in Abu Dhabi, with new 

agreements in place to further develop Upper Zakum. 

Meanwhile, Occidental Petroleum of the US has won a contract from Abu Dhabi National Oil 

Company (ADNOC) to help evaluate the Hail and Ghasha oilfields. 

The UAE hosts the world’s biggest energy companies at its Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) event each autumn, and every year the event grows in size 

and stature, creating a global meeting place for those who shape the industry. 

“Industry professionals are confident that the energy sector will continue to realize success through 

the global commitment to innovation and technology, and having an international platform to share 

this knowledge and expertise is critical,” said Christopher Hudson, Vice President, Energy at dmg 

events. 

“ADIPEC offers that global platform and serves as a central meeting place for senior executives and

decision makers from the industry to learn about government decisions relating to energy policies, 

and explore the latest technologies that would help them achieve their short and long-term E&P 

objectives.” 

“Last year, ADIPEC attracted more than 1,800 exhibitors from 112 countries, with record 

participation from National and International Oil Companies, including firms from major market 

players Saudi Arabia, China, and Mexico. We are looking to break records once again this year with 

ADIPEC 2015,” Hudson added. 

ADIPEC 2015 will take place 9-12 November, and is expected to attract more than 85,000 

attendees, 2,000 exhibitors, and 7,000 delegates during the four-day event.

Prestigious ADIPEC 2015 Awards Open For Nominations 

(27 April 2015) 

The prestigious ADIPEC Awards will once again 

recognize excellence in energy, and is returning 

this year with two new categories that play a 

pivotal role in advancing the oil and gas industry – 

the Best Practice Award, and the Best Dissertation 

of the Year Award. 

The acclaimed awards, which open for 

nominations on 26 April 2015, celebrate 

achievement across eight categories, and are 

considered a highly coveted accomplishment in 

the energy sector. 

The accolades are a highlight of the Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and 

Conference (ADIPEC), one of the world’s top 

three energy events and the global meeting place 

for professionals and decision makers in the oil 

and gas industry.

Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, the ADIPEC 2015 

Chairman, and Strategy & Coordination Director at ADNOC, said: “ADIPEC is an established leading global 

energy event, and the ADIPEC Awards carry the same prestige as an objective benchmark for worldclass 

innovation.”

“As Abu Dhabi continues to develop into a renowned industry hub, it is inspiring to see increasing award 

nominations for regional organizations, and this not only proves how committed the region is to advancing the 

energy sector, but also to doing so while demonstrating best practice.” 

Last year, the ADIPEC Awards received a recordbreaking 390 submissions from more than 100 organizations 

across 26 countries, marking an increase of 100 submissions when compared with 2013. With two new 

categories introduced in this year’s edition, the awards are set to break records once again. 

New to this year’s awards is the Best Practice Award, which recognizes the creation and successful 

implementation of an initiative that offers improvement to an internal business process, structure, or culture, 

and the Best Dissertation of the Year Award, which recognizes exceptional academic work linked to the oil and 

gas industry. 

Mr Abdul Munim Saif Al Kindy, Chairman, ADIPEC Awards, and Chief Executive Officer, Abu Dhabi Company 

for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO), said: “Corporate policies that promote sustainability and efficiency, and 

research that empowers us with critical knowledge, are key to further developing the energy sector. These two 

new categories have been introduced to recognize those who have made great strides in both.” 

“Every year, we see significant progress in the quality of entries, and I am confident that this year will be no 

different. This is an excellent opportunity for professionals, companies, and students to share their success with 

the world, and I encourage everyone to participate,” Mr Al Kindy added. 

The Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award will recognize a female whose career has progressed at a rapid pace, 

demonstrating the empowerment process in her company that allowed her to reach her aspirations. 

The remaining five categories for 2015 are as follows: Best Oil & Gas Mega Project, Best Oil & Gas Innovation 

or Technology (Surface or Subsurface), Best Oil & Gas Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) / Health, Safety, 

and Environment (HSE) Project or Initiative, Best Oilfield Services Company (Local, Regional or International), 

and Young ADIPEC Engineer. 

The ADIPEC Awards follows a meticulous judging process upheld by the Regional Select Jury (RSJ), which is 

comprised of senior professionals from across the oil and gas industry, including National and International Oil 

Companies, academic institutions, and professional associations. As leaders in their fields, the RSJ members 

provide a dedicated level of evaluation which narrows the entries to a final selection. 

Awards entries will close on 30 July 2015, with the shortlist announced on 12 October 2015. Winners and 

runnersup will be announced at the ADIPEC Gala Awards Dinner on ADIPEC’s opening night, 09 November 

2015. ADIPEC will be held from 0912 November 2015. 

Awards sponsors include Abu Dhabiheadquartered Arab Development Company (ARDECO), the Japan Oil 

Development Co., Ltd. (JODCO), Japanbased Mitsui, UAEbased National Petroleum Construction Company 

(NPCC), USbased Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY), and international oil and gas service company, 

Weatherford.

scaled back any time soon. 

Industry experts are confident that Abu Dhabi’s energy sector will continue to demonstrate resilience, with investment targets 

remaining as planned. 

Bloomberg, in January 2015, quoted the UAE’s Minister of Energy, H.E. Suhail Al Mazroui, as saying the UAE will not change its 

development plans due to crude price fluctuations. 

“Most of the projects are committed and under construction, and we don’t foresee any delays on the capacity expansion,” he 

said. “But building the capacity is something and using it is something else. We will always be wise and considerate of the world 

supply and demand.” 

One such committed project is the 40-year concession granted by Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum Council to French giant, 

Total, which took effect from 1 January of this year. Under the new arrangement, the company will aim for a 70 percent recovery 

rate from the ADCO oilfields. 

US industry leader, ExxonMobil, is also squarely focused on development in Abu Dhabi, with new agreements in place to further 

develop Upper Zakum. 

Meanwhile, Occidental Petroleum of the US has won a contract from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to help 

evaluate the Hail and Ghasha oilfields. 

The UAE hosts the world’s biggest energy companies at its Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference 

(ADIPEC) event each autumn, and every year the event grows in size and stature, creating a global meeting place for those who 

shape the industry. 

“Industry professionals are confident that the energy sector will continue to realize success through the global commitment to 

innovation and technology, and having an international platform to share this knowledge and expertise is critical,” said 

Christopher Hudson, Vice President, Energy at dmg events. 

“ADIPEC offers that global platform and serves as a central meeting place for senior executives and decision makers from the 

industry to learn about government decisions relating to energy policies, and explore the latest technologies that would help them 

achieve their short and long-term E&P objectives.” 

“Last year, ADIPEC attracted more than 1,800 exhibitors from 112 countries, with record participation from National and 

International Oil Companies, including firms from major market players Saudi Arabia, China, and Mexico. We are looking to 

break records once again this year with ADIPEC 2015,” Hudson added. 

ADIPEC 2015 will take place 9-12 November, and is expected to attract more than 85,000 attendees, 2,000 exhibitors, and 7,000 

delegates during the four-day event.

Distinguished Awards Introduce Two New Categories that Recognize Best Practice and Academic Excellence in the Energy 

Sector 

The prestigious ADIPEC Awards will once again recognize excellence in energy, and is returning this year with two new 

categories that play a pivotal role in advancing the oil and gas industry – the Best Practice Award, and the Best Dissertation of 

the Year Award. 

The acclaimed awards, which open for nominations on 26 April 2015, celebrate achievement across eight categories, and are 

considered a highly coveted accomplishment in the energy sector. 

The accolades are a highlight of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), one of the world’s 

top three energy events and the global meeting place for professionals and decision makers in the oil and gas industry. 

Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, the ADIPEC 2015 Chairman, and Strategy & Coordination Director at ADNOC, said: “ADIPEC is an 

established leading global energy event, and the ADIPEC Awards carry the same prestige as an objective benchmark for worldclass 

innovation.” 

“As Abu Dhabi continues to develop into a renowned industry hub, it is inspiring to see increasing award nominations for regional 

organizations, and this not only proves how committed the region is to advancing the energy sector, but also to doing so while 

demonstrating best practice.” 

Last year, the ADIPEC Awards received a record-breaking 390 submissions from more than 100 organizations across 26 

countries, marking an increase of 100 submissions when compared with 2013. With two new categories introduced in this year’s 

edition, the awards are set to break records once again. 

New to this year’s awards is the Best Practice Award, which recognizes the creation and successful implementation of an 

initiative that offers improvement to an internal business process, structure, or culture, and the Best Dissertation of the Year 

Award, which recognizes exceptional academic work linked to the oil and gas industry. 




Mr Abdul Munim Saif Al Kindy, Chairman, ADIPEC Awards, and Chief Executive Officer, Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil 

Operations (ADCO), said: “Corporate policies that promote sustainability and efficiency, and research that empowers us with 

critical knowledge, are key to further developing the energy sector. These two new categories have been introduced to recognize 

those who have made great strides in both.” 

“Every year, we see significant progress in the quality of entries, and I am confident that this year will be no different. This is an 

excellent opportunity for professionals, companies, and students to share their success with the world, and I encourage everyone 

to participate,” Mr Al Kindy added. 

The Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award will recognize a female whose career has progressed at a rapid pace, demonstrating 

the empowerment process in her company that allowed her to reach her aspirations. 

The remaining five categories for 2015 are as follows: Best Oil & Gas Mega Project, Best Oil & Gas Innovation or Technology 

(Surface or Sub-surface), Best Oil & Gas Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) / Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Project 

or Initiative, Best Oilfield Services Company (Local, Regional or International), and Young ADIPEC Engineer. 

The ADIPEC Awards follows a meticulous judging process upheld by the Regional Select Jury (RSJ), which is comprised of 

senior professionals from across the oil and gas industry, including National and International Oil Companies, academic 

institutions, and professional associations. As leaders in their fields, the RSJ members provide a dedicated level of evaluation 

which narrows the entries to a final selection. 

Awards entries will close on 30 July 2015, with the shortlist announced on 12 October 2015. Winners and runners-up will be 

announced at the ADIPEC Gala Awards Dinner on ADIPEC’s opening night, 09 November 2015. ADIPEC will be held from 09-12

Business-as-usual in 2015 as UAE’s oil

With nearly 100 billion barrels in reserves, the UAE can be forgiven for not being too alarmed by 

the current dip in global oil pricing. And with nearly 92 billion of those barrels in Abu Dhabi alone, 

much of it in Zakum field – the Middle East region’s third largest – one can begin to understand 

better the patient, long term view that the country’s leaders have chosen to adopt. Chris Fox 

explores the Emirate's energy development policy, ahead of the prestigious ADIPEC event in Abu 

Dhabi in November. 

The UAE currently produces around three million barrels of oil per day, and that figure, say industry sources, will 

not likely be scaled back any time soon. Industry experts are confident that Abu Dhabi’s energy sector will continue 

to demonstrate resilience, with investment targets remaining as planned. Bloomberg, in January 2015, quoted the 

UAE’s Minister of Energy, H.E. Suhail Al Mazroui, as saying that the UAE will not change its development plans due 

to crude price fluctuations. 

“Most of the projects are committed and under construction, and we do not foresee any delays on the capacity 

expansion,” he said. “But building the capacity is something and using it is something else. We will always be wise 

and considerate of the world supply and demand.”

ADIPEC 2015 Focuses On Innovation As Energy Industry Looks To Meet Growing Global Demand 

(18 May 2015) 

The Middle East’s energy industry needs to invest 

in innovation and sustainability initiatives to meet 

increased global demand, according to industry 

experts attending this year’s Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference 

(ADIPEC). 

Global energy demand will be 37 percent higher by 

2040, according to the International Energy 

Agency’s World Energy Outlook. With the Middle 

East expected to become the major source of oil 

supply growth, investment in cutting-edge 

innovation and technology will help the region’s 

energy industry meet growing needs. 

“Innovation and Sustainability in a New Energy 

World” forms the theme of ADIPEC 2015, where 

global experts, industry decision-makers, and 

senior government executives will come together to 

address how innovation in products, services, and 

processes will deliver safe, reliable energy 

solutions and achieve economic, social and environmental sustainability targets.

surpassing ADIPEC’s record 2014 numbers. 

Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, ADIPEC 2015 Chairman, and Strategy & Coordination Director at ADNOC, said: 

“Innovation is a continuous process, and ADIPEC 2015 is the best place to see the latest innovations in the 

hydrocarbon industry, both regionally and worldwide. In line with the announcement from our visionary UAE 

leadership that 2015 will be marked as the ‘Year of Innovation’, ADNOC and its companies are focused on 

innovation across all its projects.”

“ADIPEC provides a perfect platform for collaborating, sharing and partnering as we maximise our joint 

resources and expertise. The event continues to raise Abu Dhabi’s profile as a global knowledge hub for the 

energy sector,” Mr Al Shamsi added. 

ADNOC, the show’s main sponsor, is one of the largest oil production companies in the world, producing more 

than 2.7 million barrels of oil a day. The company is committed to adopting the best safety and sustainability 

standards in all its practices. 

According to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, global daily demand for oil will rise from around 

91 million barrels a day in 2014 to 111 million barrels a day by 2040. 

Major National and International Oil Companies have once again confirmed their participation in ADIPEC this 

year, including the Bahrain Petroleum Company, the China National Petroleum Corporation, the Korea National 

Oil Corporation, the Kuwait Oil Company, Qatar Petroleum, Saudi Aramco, as well as BP, ExxonMobil, the Japan 

Oil Development Co., Ltd., Oxy, Partex Oil and Gas, Shell, Statoil, and Total. 

Oil field service giants Schlumberger and Weatherford are also regulars at ADIPEC. 

New Offshore & Marine Section 

Following strong demand, ADIPEC 2015 will feature the launch of the Offshore & Marine exhibition area, 

allowing companies to showcase products, services and solutions for the maritime and offshore industry in an 

actual marine environment. 

Located in a purpose-built zone on the waterfront at ADNEC, the new exhibition area will be complemented by a 

dedicated Offshore & Marine Conference, running across all four days of ADIPEC 2015, and providing additional 

opportunities for knowledge exchange. 

ADIPEC 2015 will also extend the exhibition show floor to include an additional hall and an outdoor zone 

dedicated to heavy machinery, located directly on the marine front of ADNEC. 

“ADIPEC has now firmly established itself as one of the world’s top three energy events and continues to attract 

more national and international oil companies and service companies than any other event in the world,” said 

Christopher Hudson, Senior Vice President, Energy at dmg events. “We are delighted to add the Offshore & 

Marine Exhibition and Conference to the event, and welcome back features such as the globally renowned 

ADIPEC Awards and the Middle East Petroleum Club to make ADIPEC 2015 more successful than ever.” 

Building on Success 

ADIPEC 2015 is expected to surpass the success of last year’s record event, which drew more than 76,000 

visitors, and generated USD 8.5 billion of on-site business, up from USD 5 billion in 2013. 

ADIPEC 2015 is again providing one of the world’s largest-scale conference programmes, organised by the 

Society of Petroleum Engineers, with topics and sub-topics covering both technical and non-technical functions 

in the oil and gas industry. Conference panel sessions will take place on each and every day of the event. 

The ADIPEC Conference Programme brings together government ministers, CEOs of the world’s oil and gas 

giants, and industry experts to address the current state and future opportunities for the energy sector. Nearly 

half of the conference content in 2014 was generated outside the Middle East, cementing ADIPEC’s position as 

a global hub for the energy sector. 

Also returning to ADIPEC 2015 will be the ADIPEC Awards, which celebrate innovation, best practice, and 

excellence in energy for people, companies, projects and initiatives in the oil and gas industry across the Middle 

East and North African region. The ADIPEC Awards are currently open for nominations, and the deadline is 30 

July 2015. Winners of the prestigious awards will be announced on ADIPEC’s opening night. 

The definitive club for senior oil and gas executives, the Middle East Petroleum Club (MEPC) provides a secure 

and private environment for key decision-makers to engage with peers, contacts and colleagues, and forge new 

connections. The 2015 MEPC VIP programme will allow members to attend a series of interviews, briefings and 

panel discussions in a purpose-built theatre. 

Challenging the perception that the oil and gas industry is a male-dominated environment, the official ADIPEC 

Women in Industry series will give attendees the opportunity of meeting with peers and discussing the future role 

of women in the energy arena, with an industry topical panel discussion and lunch on Monday, 28 September, 

and a full day gathering on Sunday, 8 November. 

Now entering its third year, Young ADIPEC, the hugely successful programme designed to engage the younger 

generation in the oil and gas industry, is expanding its reach with the creation of a Young Ambassador for each 

school that takes part in the programme. The programme will also feature interactive engagement sessions to 

help students learn more about the energy sector and develop key skills.

ADIPEC 2015 Puts Energy Security On Global Agenda During Annual ’Ambassador’s Day’ 

(1 June 2015) 

Building new links and boosting bilateral 

relations between key market players is 

crucial to achieving sustainability in energy, 

said industry experts at a private event for the 

Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition 

& Conference (ADIPEC). 

Speaking to an audience of 90 industry 

professionals and decision makers at 

ADIPEC’s prestigious ‘Ambassador’s Day’ 

event, Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Director of 

Strategy & Coordination at ADNOC and 

ADIPEC 2015 Chairman, and Mr. Saif Ahmed 

Alghfeli, CEO of Al Hosn Gas and ADIPEC 

2015 CoChairman, joined members of 

ADIPEC’s Executive Committee and the 

Middle East Petroleum Club, as well as senior 

representatives from 50 countries to 

emphasize the critical role that international 

relationships play in meeting the growing 

global energy demand. 


“The annual Ambassador’s Day is an ideal platform to emphasise the importance of integrating 

international business and government efforts in achieving sustainability in the energy industry,” said Mr. Al 

Shamsi. “This year’s event will bring industry leaders together from across the world to demonstrate how 

best industry practices can be implemented through productive cooperation.” 

“In order to secure energy resources for generations to come, we need to apply innovation in everything we 

do, and this can only be achieved by sharing knowledge and expertise,” said Mr. Alghfeli. “As an oil and 

gas industry hub that provides security and connectivity, Abu Dhabi offers an ideal setting where the 

brightest minds in the industry come together to engage in constructive discussions that can pave the way 

to a sustainable energy future.” 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, 

hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, organised by dmg events, and supported by the UAE 

Ministry of Energy and the Abu Dhabi Chamber, ADIPEC 2015 will take place from the 9thto 

12thNovember, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. 

The pioneering energy event is poised for continued growth, expanding to 110,000 gross square meters – 

a 10,000 squaremeter increase from last year, including a purposebuilt Offshore, Marine & Heavy 

Equipment Zone for maritime exhibitors. 

The number of countries participating in ADIPEC 2015 is also set to surpass last year’s record of 20 

international pavilions, 18 National Oil Companies, and 17 International Oil Companies. 

Nigeria, one of the world’s leading oil exporters, is one of the countries to confirm presence at ADIPEC this 

year, with a dedicated pavilion representing key businesses from the industry. According to the US Energy 



Information Administration (EIA), Nigeria is Africa’s largest oil producer, and sits among the world’s top five 

exporters of LNG. 

“Partaking in ADIPEC has proven to be valuable to us from the time of our first participation in 2013,” said 

Mr. Ibrahim Auwalu, Nigerian Ambassador to the UAE. “The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation looks 

forward to this event on an annual basis for the numerous opportunities it provides. We are always 

impressed with the quality of content at the exhibition and conference, and this is clearly reflected in the 

growing number of exhibitors and attendees year on year.” 

Japan, one of the world’s largest consumers of natural gas and petroleum, is another nation set to 

participate in ADIPEC 2015. The EIA indicated that the government's energy strategy encourages 

Japanese businesses to increase global energy exploration and development projects to secure a stable 

supply of oil and natural gas. 

“The Middle East is an important region for us, as it provides nearly 80 percent of our oil supply. ADIPEC 

gives us an opportunity to connect with leading suppliers and build essential relationships in the region,” 

said Mr Takuya Maeba, Second Secretary at the Embassy of Japan to the UAE. “Our State Minister of 

Economy, Trade, and Industry attended the event last year and expressed the contentment of his 

participation. This year, the Japanese Oil Development Co., Ltd. looks forward to participating again, and 

will be joined by a number of other Japanese organizations.” 

With global demand for energy expected to grow by 37 percent by 2040, countries are increasingly looking 

to energyrelated events to explore viable options for securing sustainable resources. Thailand, for 

instance, is considering participation in ADIPEC this year for the first time. While the country is a significant 

oil and natural gas producer, it also relies on imports to sustain the nation’s rising fuel demand. 

“Technology and innovation are key to enhancing oil and gas exploration and production efforts,” said Mr. 

Tachasit Prasittirat, First Secretary at the Royal Thai Embassy in Abu Dhabi. “Events such as ADIPEC can 

offer important insights pertaining to the adoption of the latest innovations to evolve our energy sector.” 

ADIPEC 2015 is expected to attract a higher number of attendees compared to last year, as well as 7,000 

delegates, and 2,000 exhibitors from across 120 countries in its largest event to date.

ADIPEC 2015 Puts Abu Dhabi In Global Spotlight With Record Number Of Conference Programme 

Submissions 

(23 June 2015) 

Global industry leaders and decision-makers 

are set to make the Abu Dhabi International 

Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC) 

2015 a record-breaker, with the number of 

abstract submissions for the Conference 

Programme rising 26 percent from 2014. 

With a total of 2,278 proposals submitted from 

540 organizations across 65 countries, the 

ADIPEC 2015 Conference Programme is 

already building on the success of last year’s 

event, which received 1,806 abstracts. Nearly 

half of submissions this year were received 

from outside the Middle East, underscoring the 

Abu Dhabi event’s importance as the world’s 

new meeting point for the global oil and gas 

community. 

The ADIPEC 2015 technical committee, which 


is comprised of 175 industry leading experts, 

convened on 19th May, where 559 quality 

abstracts were selected following a thorough and rigorous selection process across nine categories. At 

almost a 25% approval rate, the selection process qualified a 15% higher number of abstracts than the 

previous year. 

“The ADIPEC 2015 Conference Programme Call for Papers has broken the world record for the number of 

submitted abstracts in the oil and gas industry, receiving more papers than some of the industry’s largest 

technical conferences, including Houston’s Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), which received 1313 

submissions,” said Mr. Fareed Abdulla, Senior Vice President – North East Bab (NEB) Asset at the Abu 

Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations Ltd. (ADCO), ADIPEC 2015 Technical Conference Chairman, 

and SPE Regional Director, Middle East and North Africa. 

“This highlights the richness of the platform that ADIPEC represents. As ADIPEC has grown over the years, 

so has the range and quality of the proposals we receive. We are again expecting a strong representation of 

lectures and presentations under a number of engaging and pertinent technical categories,” Mr. Abdulla 

added. 


ADIPEC 2015 will take place from 9-12 November, and is hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company 

(ADNOC), organised by dmg events, and supported by the UAE Ministry of Energy and the Abu Dhabi 

Chamber. 

The ADIPEC Conference Programme, organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), is now one of 

the largest events focusing on the energy sector, attracting government ministers, CEOs from the world’s 

leading national and international oil companies and service companies, and key decision makers from 

across the industry. 




This year’s conference theme is “Innovation and Sustainability in a New Energy World,” and the event will 

explore regional and global views, with more than 600 speakers and 7,000 delegates from both technical and 

non-technical functions within the oil and gas industry. 

Last year’s ADIPEC Conference Programme featured a ministerial session, two executive plenary sessions, 

eight executive panels, 81 technical sessions, six workshops, four academia sessions, and three dedicated 

sessions on IT security – offering industry professionals a comprehensive forum for exchanging knowledge 

on the most critical issues facing the energy sector. 

Christopher Hudson, President – Global Energy, dmg events, said: “Set in Abu Dhabi, one of the world’s 

leading oil and gas producers, ADIPEC is poised for continued growth, and this achievement is testimony to 

ADIPEC’s unwavering commitment to serve the diverse needs of the energy sector. It is only through the 

dissemination of knowledge and research that we can truly forge a path to a sustainable future.” 

The technical categories that will be covered at the ADIPEC 2015 Conference are: E&P Geoscience, 

Unconventional Resources, Field Development, Drilling and Completion Technology, Projects Engineering 

and Management, Operational Excellence and HSE, Gas Technology, and People and Talent.

Global Energy Sector Looks to ADIPEC 2015 Awards for Achieving Sustainability 


Developments in Technology Critical to Promoting Cost Efficiencies in Challenging Market Conditions, say Abu Dhabi 

Industry Chiefs 

Abu Dhabi, UAE –30 June2015–Innovation is key to achieving progress in the energy sector in today’s economic 

environment, Abu Dhabi industry leaderssaid yesterday. 

As regional and global oil and gas companies continue to submit their nominations for the prestigious ADIPEC 2015 

Awards ahead of the 30 July deadline, members of the Regional Select Jury (RSJ), which is comprised of senior 

professionals from across the industry, emphasized the pivotal role that developments in technology play in creating and 

harnessing sustainable energy resources. 

“With eight categories that span the most critical issues surrounding the energy sector, the ADIPEC Awards encourage and 

uphold organizations that champion forward thinking attitudes and value new ideas brought by young talent,” said Mr Ali 

Khalifa Al Shamsi, Director of Strategy & Coordination at ADNOC, and ADIPEC 2015 Chairman. “This is essential in order 

to continue meeting the ever-growing global demand for energy in the context of today’s market conditions.” 

Set to take place on the opening night of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC), one of 

the world’s top three energy events, the ADIPEC 2015 Awards are currently accepting nominations and offer both regional 

and global companies a platform to showcase accomplishments that shape the future of the industry. 

“Innovation sits at the core of sustainable energy production. It helps cut costs, allowing you to become more competitive in 

this economic environment,” said Rafi Baghdjian, Chief Operating Officer at Shell Abu Dhabi, and member of the RSJ.“For 

example, Abu Dhabi is currently pursuing ventures, such as Al Hosn and Bab sour gas projects, that may not have been 

possible or very expensive 10-20 years ago. But through innovative methods, we can now extract this gas both safely and 

efficiently.” 

“Looking to other countries like the US, where innovative techniques are being used to extract shale oil and gas, a decade 

ago it was thought that it would not be possible to tap into these very tight reservoirs in an economic way, but innovation 

has driven this kind of development – it is a bloodline of the oil and gas industry,” Baghdjian added. 

Among the eight categories of the ADIPEC 2015 Awards, ‘Best Oil & Gas Innovation or Technology’ (Surface or Subsurface) 

is currently showing the most interest, demonstrating the region’s unwavering commitment to advancing the oil 

and gas industry, and to meeting the rising global demand for energy.

The ‘Best Oil & Gas Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) / Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Project or Initiative’ 

category, and the new ‘Best Dissertation of the Year’ category follow, both looking at critical areas that promote progress 

within the energy sector. 

“Going forward, we are all aware that the oil & gas industry will be facing both challenges and enormous opportunities – 

developing our knowledge and understanding of the sector is absolutely essential if we are to grow and develop the 

industry,” said Dr Thomas Hochstettler, President of the Petroleum Institute and RSJ member. “The Best Dissertation 

Award will promote academic excellence and help to deliver real-world understanding.” 

Also new to this year’s Awards is the ‘Best Practice’ category, which recognizes the creation and successful 

implementation of an initiative that offers improvement to an internal business process, structure, or culture. 

'Best practice and innovation are crucial to the success of our industry, especially in the new commodity price 

environment,' said Edward LaFehr, Chief Operating Officer of Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA), and 

member of the ADIPEC Awards jury. 'I am excited to see the entries for the Best Practice category which show that the oil 

and gas industry is rising to the challenge.' 

The remaining four categories for 2015 include ‘Best Oil & Gas Mega Project’, ‘Best Oilfield Services Company’ (Local, 

Regional or International),‘Young ADIPEC Engineer’, and ‘Oil & Gas Woman of the Year’. 

Fatima Obaid Al Jaber, Board Member and Chief Operating Officer at Al Jaber Group, said: “The Oil & Gas Woman of the 

Year category aims to recognise successful women in the industry who are striving for excellence and are being supported 

by their company’s empowerment processes.” 

The highly coveted accolades present oil and gas companies with a unique opportunity to not only have their achievements 

recognizedregionally and globally, but also to disseminate knowledge and information that will set benchmarks for 

excellence in the industry. 

“ADIPEC 2015 will celebrate innovation and this year’s ADIPEC Awards will showcase how the region’s oil and gas 

industry is delivering on innovation,” said Hirotatsu Fujiwara, Managing Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Energy 

Business Unit II at Mitsui & Co., Ltd., a sponsor of the ADIPEC 2015 Awards. 

“As a world-leading event, ADIPEC is the perfect platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration and the ADIPEC 

Awards are a vital element in that, providing the standards for the industry to achieve. The Awards also contribute to Abu 

Dhabi’s growing profile in the energy sector and highlight its role in promoting excellence and best practice,” Mr Fujiwara 

added. 

Last year, the ADIPEC Awards received a record-breaking 390 submissions from more than 100 organizations across 26 

countries, marking an increase of 100 submissions when compared with 2013.

With global demand for energy expected to grow by 37 percent by 2040, countries are increasingly looking to 

energy-related events to explore viable options for securing sustainable resources. Thailand, for instance, is 

considering participation in ADIPEC this year for the first time. While the country is a significant oil and natural 

gas producer, it also relies on imports to sustain the nation’s rising fuel demand. 

“Technology and innovation are key to enhancing oil and gas exploration and production efforts,” said Mr. Tachasit 

Prasittirat, First Secretary at the Royal Thai Embassy in Abu Dhabi. “Events such as ADIPEC can offer important 

insights pertaining to the adoption of the latest innovations to evolve our energy sector.” 

ADIPEC 2015 is expected to attract a higher number of attendees compared to last year, as well as 7,000 delegates, 

and 2,000 exhibitors from across 120 countries in its largest event to date.

Global Energy Sector Looks to ADIPEC 2015 Awards for Achieving Sustainability through Innovation - Zawya

Global Energy Sector Looks to ADIPEC 2015 Awards for Achieving 

Sustainability through Innovation 

Developments in Technology Critical to Promoting Cost Efficiencies in Challenging Market 

Conditions, say Abu Dhabi Industry Chiefs 

Abu Dhabi - Innovation is key to achieving progress in the energy sector in today's economic 

environment, Abu Dhabi industry leaders said yesterday. 

As regional and global oil and gas companies continue to submit their nominations for the prestigious 

ADIPEC 2015 Awards ahead of the 30 July deadline, members of the Regional Select Jury (RSJ), which is 

comprised of senior professionals from across the industry, emphasized the pivotal role that developments 

in technology play in creating and harnessing sustainable energy resources. 

"With eight categories that span the most critical issues surrounding the energy sector, the ADIPEC Awards encourage and uphold organizations that 

champion forward thinking attitudes and value new ideas brought by young talent," said Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Director of Strategy & Coordination at 

ADNOC, and ADIPEC 2015 Chairman. "This is essential in order to continue meeting the ever-growing global demand for energy in the context of today's 

market conditions." 

Set to take place on the opening night of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC), one of the world's top three energy events, 

the ADIPEC 2015 Awards are currently accepting nominations and offer both regional and global companies a platform to showcase accomplishments that 

shape the future of the industry. 

"Innovation sits at the core of sustainable energy production. It helps cut costs, allowing you to become more competitive in this economic environment," said 

Rafi Baghdjian, Chief Operating Officer at Shell Abu Dhabi, and member of the RSJ."For example, Abu Dhabi is currently pursuing ventures, such as Al Hosn 

and Bab sour gas projects, that may not have been possible or very expensive 10-20 years ago. But through innovative methods, we can now extract this gas 

both safely and efficiently." 

"Looking to other countries like the US, where innovative techniques are being used to extract shale oil and gas, a decade ago it was thought that it would not 

be possible to tap into these very tight reservoirs in an economic way, but innovation has driven this kind of development - it is a bloodline of the oil and gas 

industry," Baghdjian added. 

Among the eight categories of the ADIPEC 2015 Awards, 'Best Oil & Gas Innovation or Technology' (Surface or Sub-surface) is currently showing the most 

interest, demonstrating the region's unwavering commitment to advancing the oil and gas industry, and to meeting the rising global demand for energy. 

The 'Best Oil & Gas Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) / Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Project or Initiative' category, and the new 'Best 

Dissertation of the Year' category follow, both looking at critical areas that promote progress within the energy sector. 

"Going forward, we are all aware that the oil & gas industry will be facing both challenges and enormous opportunities - developing our knowledge and 

understanding of the sector is absolutely essential if we are to grow and develop the industry," said Dr Thomas Hochstettler, President of the Petroleum 

Institute and RSJ member. "The Best Dissertation Award will promote academic excellence and help to deliver real-world understanding." 

Also new to this year's Awards is the 'Best Practice' category, which recognizes the creation and successful implementation of an initiative that offers 

improvement to an internal business process, structure, or culture. 

"Best practice and innovation are crucial to the success of our industry, especially in the new commodity price environment," said Edward LaFehr, Chief 

Operating Officer of Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA), and member of the ADIPEC Awards jury. "I am excited to see the entries for the Best 

Practice category which show that the oil and gas industry is rising to the challenge." 

The remaining four categories for 2015 include 'Best Oil & Gas Mega Project', 'Best Oilfield Services Company' (Local, Regional or International),'Young 

ADIPEC Engineer', and 'Oil & Gas Woman of the Year'. 

Fatima Obaid Al Jaber, Board Member and Chief Operating Officer at Al Jaber Group, said: "The Oil & Gas Woman of the Year category aims to recognise 

successful women in the industry who are striving for excellence and are being supported by their company's empowerment processes." 

The highly coveted accolades present oil and gas companies with a unique opportunity to not only have their achievements recognizedregionally and globally, 

but also to disseminate knowledge and information that will set benchmarks for excellence in the industry. 

"ADIPEC 2015 will celebrate innovation and this year's ADIPEC Awards will showcase how the region's oil and gas industry is delivering on innovation," said 

Hirotatsu Fujiwara, Managing Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Energy Business Unit II at Mitsui & Co., Ltd., a sponsor of the ADIPEC 2015 Awards. 

"As a world-leading event, ADIPEC is the perfect platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration and the ADIPEC Awards are a vital element in that, 

providing the standards for the industry to achieve. The Awards also contribute to Abu Dhabi's growing profile in the energy sector and highlight its role in 

promoting excellence and best practice," Mr Fujiwara added. 

Last year, the ADIPEC Awards received a record-breaking 390 submissions from more than 100 organizations across 26 countries, marking an increase of 

100 submissions when compared with 2013.

Do not take 'no' for an answer, say GCC women energy 

professionals

UAE. Women who exude confidence both in the office and on the field are more likely to 

shatter the glass ceiling and accelerate their career progression, say the region’s women oil 

and gas professionals. 

Persistence is key to making it in the oil and gas industry, says Amna Al Maqtari, Process 

Engineer at the TAKREER Research Centre, which is part of the Petroleum Institute 

campus, an Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) educational centre. 

“Don’t take no for an answer,” Al Maqtari said. “If someone tells you that you cannot do 

something on the basis that you are a woman, don’t just walk away. Insist that you are 

capable of doing it yourself, and you will find that most times, people will listen.” 

The oil and gas industry, traditionally a male-dominated domain, has witnessed great strides 

in attracting and retaining more women into engineering positions. Women comprise a 

larger proportion of the global energy workforce today than at any point in history. 

Figures from Shell Global show that 29 per cent of its employees in supervisory/professional 

positions are women, and the proportion of women in its senior leadership positions have 

nearly doubled over the last decade – from 9.9 per cent in 2005, to 18 per cent in 2014. 

Similarly, about 28 per cent of ExxonMobil’s global workforce is women, and in 2014, 40 per 

cent of management and professional new hires were women, significantly higher than the 

percentage of women in its overall employee population. 

However, there are still challenges to be met. According to a 2015 report by 

PricewaterhouseCoopers, only 5 per cent of executive board seats in the top UKheadquartered 

energy firms are currently held by women, while 61 per cent of leadership 

boards have no women present at all. 

Continuous efforts will have to be made to support the industry’s female workforce, and 

distinguishing women achievers as role models is an important component of that process, 

according to women in the industry. 

The ADIPEC 2015 Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award will recognise a female whose 

career has progressed at a rapid pace, demonstrating the empowerment process in her 

company that encouraged her to reach her aspirations. 

The ADIPEC Awards, which span eight categories and are currently open for nominations 

until 30 July, are part of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference 

(ADIPEC) 2015, one of the world’s top three energy events and a global meeting place for 

oil and gas professionals. 

Hosnia Hashim, Vice President – Operations at the Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration 

Company, one of Forbes Most Powerful Arab Women in 2014, and a speaker at this year’s 

ADIPEC ‘Women in Industry’ Conference, said: “Recognising women achievers in energy is 

more important than ever to challenge the perception that the oil and gas industry is a male 

domain. The journey to success is not an easy one, but can be achieved with commitment, 

determination, and the support of corporate policy. The ADIPEC 2015 Oil & Gas Woman of 

the Year Award helps to transform what may seem as only a dream for young women to 

pursue a career in energy into a tangible reality.” 

Maria A. Capello, Consultant – South and East Kuwait Directorate at the Kuwait Oil 

Company, said: “The ADIPEC Awards are without a doubt one of the most prestigious 

global recognitions in the oil and gas industry. The ‘Oil & Gas Woman of the Year’ category 

is an outstanding opportunity to recognise the many achievements of the extraordinary 

women who work in our industry.” 

“Particularly for the Middle East, this Award will also be a motivational channel through 

which the industry can spotlight the amazing women from the region who have grounded 

their success on incredible accomplishments, making them natural role models for 

tomorrow’s generation of women professionals,” Capello added.

In addition to recognising female achievers and bringing to light role models within the 

industry, the Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award is a powerful message to society that 

women are equally capable and can play significant roles, said Reem Al Anbari, Chief 

Financial Officer at Borouge, an ADNOC Group company, and a speaker at the ADIPEC 

2015 ‘Women in Industry’ Conference. 

“Many organisations are now focusing on diversity as a way of increasing their effectiveness 

and competitiveness by attracting the best talent regardless of gender. In many countries, 

women comprise more than half of the population, and leaving this resource untapped is a 

detrimental mistake. The oil and gas industry is an engine for the economy, and we need to 

get women involved across all corporate levels to change the dynamics and make sure their 

voices are heard, not overlooked or ignored,” Al Anbari said. 

“Thanks to the UAE government’s unwavering support for women, many companies offer 

effective career development tools and policies – it is now up to women to take advantage 

of these opportunities by asking questions, taking risks, and being involved in major projects 

to try and deliver results,” added Al Anbari. 

Mariam Al Badr, Director of Corporate Communications at Dolphin Energy, said: “When it 

comes to oil and gas, there tends to be negative connotations about women as engineers, 

working offshore and developing a career in the sector. As someone who works in 

communications I can see that there is a strong need to dispel these misperceptions by 

engaging more effectively with females and profiling the different opportunities and roles 

they can assume within the energy sector.” 

“The notion of equal opportunity, training and education is very important,” added Al Badr, 

who is also a speaker at this year’s ADIPEC ‘Women in Industry’ Conference. “For example, 

at Dolphin Energy it is made very clear what is needed to progress to the next level. This is 

of great help because not only are you given clear targets to aim for but also as a woman 

you feel part of the company’s future plans for success. It is very motivating.” 

Although corporate tools and policies play a critical role in supporting women through their 

career development, Al Maqtari says before looking outside for external support, it is 

important that women look inside first. 

“Managing your internal expectations is key, and this holds true for any employee whether 

male or female. We are here to prove that women are just as capable and competent as 

men, and so expecting that you will receive special treatment because you are a woman 

does not work in our favour,” said Al Maqtari. 

The best resource in the workplace for women looking for guidance on their journey to 

success are their senior colleagues, Al Maqtari added. 

“My superiors are my greatest mentors and have always lent their support and advice when 

I needed it most. So finding someone that you can trust – a person who will not push you 

aside, but push you forward – can be of great help, especially in times of difficulty,” she said. 

Awards entries will close on 30 July 2015, with the shortlist announced on 12 October 2015. 

Winners and runners-up will be announced at the ADIPEC Gala Awards Dinner on 

ADIPEC’s opening night, 09 November 2015. ADIPEC will be held from 09-12 November 

2015. 

ADIPEC will also be hosting its annual ‘Women in Industry’ event, bringing together women 

leaders in the oil and gas industry to share their experiences and challenge the perception 

that energy is a male domain. 

For the first time, the full-day event will also invite male speakers to the panel to shed light 

on the challenges and opportunities for women in the energy arena. The ‘Women in 

Industry’ Conference will take place the day before ADIPEC 2015 opens, on Sunday, 8 

November at the Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa by Anantara. 


The ADIPEC Awards recognise excellence across eight categories, and are considered a 

highly coveted accomplishment in the energy sector. The prestigious accolades follow a 

meticulous judging process upheld by the Regional Select Jury, which is comprised of 

senior professionals from National and International Oil Companies, academic institutions, 

and professional associations. Awards entries will close on 30 July 2015, with the shortlist 

announced on 12 October 2015. Winners and runners-up will be announced at the ADIPEC 

Gala Awards Dinner on ADIPEC’s opening night, 09 November 2015. 

The eight categories for the ADIPEC 2015 Awards are: Best Oil & Gas Mega Project, Best 

Oil & Gas Innovation or Technology (Surface or Sub-surface), Best Oil & Gas Corporate 

Social Responsibility (CSR) / Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Project or Initiative, 

Best Oilfield Services Company (Local, Regional or International), Young ADIPEC Engineer, 

Oil & Gas Woman of the Year, Best Practice, and Best Dissertation of the Year. 


Held under the patronage of the President of the United Arab Emirates, His Highness 

Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and organised by the Global Energy division of dmg 

events, ADIPEC is the global meeting point for oil and gas professionals. Standing as one of 

the world’s top three energy events, and the largest in the Middle East and North Africa,

Maria A. Capello, Consultant – South and East Kuwait Directorate at the Kuwait Oil Company, said: “The ADIPEC Awards are 

without a doubt one of the most prestigious global recognitions in the oil and gas industry. The ‘Oil & Gas Woman of the Year’ 

category is an outstanding opportunity to recognise the many achievements of the extraordinary women who work in our 

industry.” 

“Particularly for the Middle East, this Award will also be a motivational channel through which the industry can spotlight the 

amazing women from the region who have grounded their success on incredible accomplishments, making them natural role 

models for tomorrow’s generation of women professionals,” Capello added. 

In addition to recognising female achievers and bringing to light role models within the industry, the Oil & Gas Woman of the 

Year Award is a powerful message to society that women are equally capable and can play significant roles, said Reem Al 

Anbari, Chief Financial Officer at Borouge, an ADNOC Group company, and a speaker at the ADIPEC 2015 ‘Women in 

Industry’ Conference. 

“Many organisations are now focusing on diversity as a way of increasing their effectiveness and competitiveness by attracting 

the best talent regardless of gender. In many countries, women comprise more than half of the population, and leaving this 

resource untapped is a detrimental mistake. The oil and gas industry is an engine for the economy, and we need to get women 

involved across all corporate levels to change the dynamics and make sure their voices are heard, not overlooked or ignored,” 

Al Anbari said. 

“Thanks to the UAE government’s unwavering support for women, many companies offer effective career development tools 

and policies – it is now up to women to take advantage of these opportunities by asking questions, taking risks, and being 

involved in major projects to try and deliver results,” added Al Anbari. 

Mariam Al Badr, Director of Corporate Communications at Dolphin Energy, said: “When it comes to oil and gas, there tends to 

be negative connotations about women as engineers, working offshore and developing a career in the sector. As someone 

who works in communications I can see that there is a strong need to dispel these misperceptions by engaging more 

effectively with females and profiling the different opportunities and roles they can assume within the energy sector.” 

“The notion of equal opportunity, training and education is very important,” added Al Badr, who is also a speaker at this year’s 

ADIPEC ‘Women in Industry’ Conference. “For example, at Dolphin Energy it is made very clear what is needed to progress to 

the next level. This is of great help because not only are you given clear targets to aim for but also as a woman you feel part of 

the company’s future plans for success. It is very motivating.” 

Although corporate tools and policies play a critical role in supporting women through their career development, Al Maqtari 

says before looking outside for external support, it is important that women look inside first. 

“Managing your internal expectations is key, and this holds true for any employee whether male or female. We are here to 

prove that women are just as capable and competent as men, and so expecting that you will receive special treatment because 

you are a woman does not work in our favour,” said Al Maqtari. 

The best resource in the workplace for women looking for guidance on their journey to success are their senior colleagues, Al 

Maqtari added. 

“My superiors are my greatest mentors and have always lent their support and advice when I needed it most. So finding 

someone that you can trust – a person who will not push you aside, but push you forward – can be of great help, especially in 

times of difficulty,” she said. 

Awards entries will close on 30 July 2015, with the shortlist announced on 12 October 2015. Winners and runnersup will be 

announced at the ADIPEC Gala Awards Dinner on ADIPEC’s opening night, 09 November 2015. ADIPEC will be held from 09

ADIPEC 2015 Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award Offers Companies 

Opportunity to Recognise Female Achievers in Energy 

Abu Dhabi, UAE –15 July 2015 – Women who exude confidence both in the 

office and on the field are more likely to shatter the glass ceiling and accelerate 

their career progression, say the region’s women oil and gas professionals. 

Persistence is key to making it in the oil and gas industry, says Amna Al Maqtari, 

Process Engineer at the TAKREER Research Centre, which is part of the 

Petroleum Institute campus, an Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) 

educational centre. 

“Don’t take no for an answer,” Al Maqtari said. “If someone tells you that you 

cannot do something on the basis that you are a woman, don’t just walk away. 

Insist that you are capable of doing it yourself, and you will find that most times, 

people will listen.” 

The oil and gas industry, traditionally a maledominated domain, has witnessed 

great strides in attracting and retaining more women into engineering positions. 

Women comprise a larger proportion of theglobalenergy workforce today than at 

any point in history. 

Figures from Shell Global show that 29 per cent of its employees in 

supervisory/professional positions are women, and the proportion of women in its 

senior leadership positions have nearly doubled over the last decade –from 9.9 

per cent in 2005, to 18 per cent in 2014. Similarly, about 28 per cent of 

ExxonMobil’s global workforce is women, and in 2014, 40 percent of 

management and professional new hires were women, significantly higher than 

the percentage of women in its overall employee population. 



energy firms are currently held by women, while 61 per cent of 

leadership boards have no women present at all. 

Continuous efforts will have to be made to support the industry’s female 

workforce, and distinguishing women achievers as role models is an important 

component of that process, according to women in the industry. 

The ADIPEC 2015 Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award will recognise a female 

whose career has progressed at a rapid pace, demonstrating the empowerment 

process in her company that encouraged her to reach her aspirations. 

The ADIPEC Awards, which span eight categories and are currently open for 

nominations until 30 July, are part of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition&Conference(ADIPEC) 2015, one of the world’s top three energy 

events and a global meeting place for oil and gas professionals. 

Hosnia Hashim, Vice President – Operations at the Kuwait Foreign Petroleum 

Exploration Company, one of Forbes Most Powerful Arab Women in 2014, and a 

speaker at this year’s ADIPEC ‘Women in Industry’ Conference, said: 

“Recognising women achievers in energy is more important than ever to 

challenge the perception that the oil and gas industry is a male domain. The 

journey to success is not an easy one, but can be achieved with commitment, 

determination, and the support of corporate policy. The ADIPEC 2015 Oil & Gas 

Woman of the Year Award helps to transform what may seem as only a dream for

can be achieved with commitment, determination, and the support of corporate policy. The ADIPEC 2015 

Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award helps to transform what may seem as only a dream for young 

women to pursue a career in energy into a tangible reality.” 

Maria A. Capello, Consultant – South and East Kuwait Directorate at the Kuwait Oil Company, said: “The 

ADIPEC Awards are without a doubt one of the most prestigious global recognitions in the oil and gas 

industry. The ‘Oil & Gas Woman of the Year’ category is an outstanding opportunity to recognise the 

many achievements of the extraordinary women who work in our industry.” 

“Particularly for the Middle East, this Award will also be a motivational channel through which the industry 

can spotlight the amazing women from the region who have grounded their success on incredible 

accomplishments, making them natural role models for tomorrow’s generation of women professionals,” 

Capello added. 



In addition to recognising female achievers and bringing to 

light role models within the industry, the Oil & Gas Woman 

of the Year Award is a powerful message to society that 

women are equally capable and can play significant roles, 

said Reem Al Anbari, Chief Financial Officer at Borouge, an 

ADNOC Group company, and a speaker at the ADIPEC 

2015 ‘Women in Industry’ Conference. 

“Many organisations are now focusing on diversity as a 

way of increasing their effectiveness and competitiveness 

by attracting the best talent regardless of gender. In many 

countries, women comprise more than half of the 

population, and leaving this resource untapped is a 

detrimental mistake. The oil and gas industry is an engine 

for the economy, and we need to get women involved 

across all corporate levels to change the dynamics and 

make sure their voices are heard, not overlooked or 

ignored,” Al Anbari said. 

“Thanks to the UAE government’s unwavering support for 

women, many companies offer effective career 

development tools and policies – it is now up to women to 

Hosnia Hashim, Vice President, Operations, 

Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company 

take advantage of these opportunities by asking questions, taking risks, and being involved in major 

projects to try and deliver results,” added Al Anbari. 

Mariam Al Badr, Director of Corporate Communications at Dolphin Energy, said: “When it comes to oil and 

gas, there tends to be negative connotations about women as engineers, working offshore and developing 

a career in the sector. As someone who works in communications I can see that there is a strong need to 

dispel these misperceptions by engaging more effectively with females and profiling the different 

opportunities and roles they can assume within the energy sector.” 



“The notion of equal opportunity, 

training and education is very 

important,” added Al Badr, who is 

also a speaker at this year’s 

ADIPEC ‘Women in Industry’ 

Conference. “For example, at 

Dolphin Energy it is made very 

clear what is needed to progress to 

the next level. This is of great help 

because not only are you given 

clear targets to aim for but also as a 

woman you feel part of the 

company’s future plans for 

success. It is very motivating.” 

Reem Al Anbari, Chief Financial Officer, Borouge 

Although corporate tools and 

policies play a critical role in supporting women through their career development, Al Maqtari says before 

looking outside for external support, it is important that women look inside first. 

“Managing your internal expectations is key, and this holds true for any employee whether male or female. 

We are here to prove that women are just as capable and competent as men, and so expecting that you 

will receive special treatment because you are a woman does not work in our favour,” said Al Maqtari. 

The best resource in the workplace for women looking for guidance on their journey to success are their 

senior colleagues, Al Maqtari added. 

“My superiors are my greatest mentors and have always lent their support and advice when I needed it 

most. So finding someone that you can trust – a person who will not push you aside, but push you forward 

– can be of great help, especially in times of difficulty,” she said. 


runnersup will be announced at the ADIPEC Gala Awards Dinner on ADIPEC’s opening night, 09 


ADIPEC will also be hosting its annual ‘Women in Industry’ event, bringing together women leaders in the 

oil and gas industry to share their experiences and challenge the perception that energy is a male domain. 

For the first time, the fullday event will also invite male speakers to the panel to shed light on the 

challenges and opportunities for women in the energy arena. The ‘Women in Industry’ Conference will take 

place the day before ADIPEC 2015 opens, on Sunday, 8 November at the Eastern Mangroves Hotel &

ABU DHABI: Women who exude confidence both in the office and on the field are more likely to shatter 

the glass ceiling and accelerate their career progression, say the region’s women oil and gas

Oil Company (Adnoc) educational centre. 

“Don’t take no for an answer,” Al Maqtari said. “If someone tells you that you cannot do something on 

the basis that you are a woman, don’t just walk away. Insist that you are capable of doing it yourself, 

and you will find that most times, people will listen.” 

The oil and gas industry, traditionally a male-dominated domain, has witnessed great strides in 

attracting and retaining more women into engineering positions. Women comprise a larger proportion of 

the global energy workforce today than at any point in history. 

Figures from Shell Global show that 29 per cent of its employees in supervisory/professional positions 

are women, and the proportion of women in its senior leadership positions have nearly doubled over the 

last decade – from 9.9 per cent in 2005, to 18 per cent in 2014. Similarly, about 28 per cent of 

ExxonMobil’s global workforce is women, and in 2014, 40 per cent of management and professional 

new hires were women, significantly higher than the percentage of women in its overall employee 

population. 

However, there are still challenges to be met. 

According to a 2015 report by PricewaterhouseCoopers, only 5 per cent of executive board seats in the 

top UK-headquartered energy firms are currently held by women, while 61 per cent of leadership

someone that you can trust – a person who will not push you aside, but push you forward – can be of great help, especially 

in times of difficulty,” she said. 

The Adipec 2015 Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award will recognize a female whose career has progressed at a rapid 

pace, demonstrating the empowerment process in her company that encouraged her to reach her aspirations. 

The Adipec Awards, which span eight categories and are currently open for nominations until 30 July, are part of the Abu

domain. 

The journey to success is not an easy one, but can be achieved with commitment, determination, and the support of 

corporate policy. The Adipec 2015 Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award helps to transform what may seem as only a 

dream for young women to pursue a career in energy into a tangible reality.” 

Maria A. Capello, Consultant – South and East Kuwait Directorate at the Kuwait Oil Company, said: “The Adipec 

Awards are without a doubt one of the most prestigious global recognitions in the oil and gas industry. The ‘Oil & Gas 

Woman of the Year' category is an outstanding opportunity to recognize the many achievements of the extraordinary 

women who work in our industry.” 

“Particularly for the Middle East, this Award will also be a motivational channel through which the industry can spotlight 

the amazing women from the region who have grounded their success on incredible accomplishments, making them 

natural role models for tomorrow's generation of women professionals,” Capello added. 

In addition to recognizing female achievers and bringing to light role models within the industry, the Oil & Gas Woman 

of the Year Award is a powerful message to society that women are equally capable and can play significant roles, said 

Reem Al Anbari, Chief Financial Officer at Borouge, an Adnoc Group company, and a speaker at the Adipec 2015 

‘Women in Industry' Conference. 

“Many organizations are now focusing on diversity as a way of increasing their effectiveness and competitiveness by 

attracting the best talent regardless of gender. In many countries, women comprise more than half of the population, and 



leaving this resource untapped is a detrimental mistake. The oil and gas industry is an engine for the economy, and we 

need to get women involved across all corporate levels to change the dynamics and make sure their voices are heard, not 

overlooked or ignored,” Al Anbari said. 

“Thanks to the UAE government's unwavering support for women, many companies offer effective career development 

tools and policies – it is now up to women to take advantage of these opportunities by asking questions, taking risks, and 

being involved in major projects to try and deliver results,” added Al Anbari. 

Mariam Al Badr, Director of Corporate Communications at Dolphin Energy, said: “When it comes to oil and gas, there 

tends to be negative connotations about women as engineers, working offshore and developing a career in the sector. As 

someone who works in communications I can see that there is a strong need to dispel these misperceptions by engaging 

more effectively with females and profiling the different opportunities and roles they can assume within the energy 

sector.” 

“The notion of equal opportunity, training and education is very important,” added Al Badr, who is also a speaker at this 

year's Adipec ‘Women in Industry' Conference. “For example, at Dolphin Energy it is made very clear what is needed to 

progress to the next level. This is of great help because not only are you given clear targets to aim for but also as a woman 

you feel part of the company's future plans for success. It is very motivating.” 

Awards entries will close on July 30, 2015, with the shortlist announced on October 12, 2015. Winners and runnersup will 

be announced at the Adipec Gala Awards Dinner on Adipec's opening night, Nov. 9, 2015. Adipec will be held on Nov. 9

Emirati women look to overcome cultural challenges in 

energy sector 

LeAnne Graves

More women are venturing into the energy sector, but cultural challenges 

remain a hurdle for Emirati women. 

For the first time, the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & 

Conference (Adipec) will present the Adipec 2015 Oil & Gas Woman of the 

Year award to recognise individuals in the energy workforce. 

Reem Al Anbari, chief financial officer at Borouge, which is part-owned by 

Adnoc, recalls her start in the hydrocarbon sector more than 20 years ago. 

Being the only woman at the company, it was a challenge because she had 

never interacted with the opposite sex. 

“When you study at school, it’s separate so there’s no real interaction with 

men,” she said. “It’s very difficult as a woman to speak up in our culture.” 

Figures from Shell Global show that 29 per cent of its employees in 

supervisory/professional positions are women, and the proportion of women 

in its senior leadership positions has nearly doubled over the past decade – 

to 18 per cent last year, from 9.9 per cent in 2005. Similarly, about 28 per

cent of ExxonMobil’s global workforce are women, and last year, 40 per cent 

of management and professional new hires were women, significantly higher 

than the percentage of women in its overall employee population. 

There is little available data for how many women work in the energy sector 

in the UAE. But at Abu Dhabi-based Dolphin Energy the female workforce is 

about 40 per cent of the total. 

Ms Al Anbari said that traveling outside the UAE helped, but the words of a 

female mentor were what she leaned on most. The woman told Ms Al Anbari 

that if she wanted to be something, she had to push herself. “Every time 

there is any challenge in any meeting, I remember that message: ‘Don’t be 

shy, say it. You have to believe in yourself’,” she said. 

“I think many women just aren’t comfortable working in this [maledominated] 

environment,” said Mariam Al Badr, director of corporate 

communications at Dolphin Energy. 

“The household makes it more difficult for you to be away from your family 

for extended periods of time.” 

This is particularly true for female engineers, as a great deal of work is 

usually completed in the field, which is often far from civilisation. 

“In our culture, it’s very hard for women to live away from their families,” said 

Amna Al Maqtari, a process engineer for Takreer Research Centre. 

“Some families are OK with it, and I know a few women already based in the 

field,” she said, but added that some of those same women faced difficulties 

when they wanted to get married. “Some have an advantage if they get 

married in those areas,” she said. 

Ms Al Maqtari said that men, such as fresh graduates from her alma mater, 

the Petroleum Institute, were immediately placed in the field. But for the 

female engineering graduates, onsite training is typically limited to one or 

two months at a time as opposed to a man who will complete a full year in 

the field. “In the research centre, mostly women are hired to avoid having to 

base them in the field,” she said. 

When asked if she felt this placed her at a disadvantage compared with her 

male colleagues, she admitted there was a small gap in the technical 

expertise. Ms Al Maqtari said she would be interested in spending more time 

in those remote locations to gain more technical knowledge, if she had 

everything on her side – such as cultural support. 

“For the technical experience I’d like to be in the field, but I wouldn’t want to 

be there my whole life,” she said. 

Ms Al Maqtari said that working in remote locations was challenging for 

another reason – many of the field sites do not have female amenities, such 

as living areas. She said that some companies were beginning to offer 

accommodation for women at certain fields. “It’s starting to change and in 

10-20 years, maybe it will be normal [to see women at these remote sites],” 

she said. 

The Adipec awards gala dinner will take place on November 9.

Adipec Awards to recognise GCC women energy achievers 


Adipec Awards to recognise GCC 

women energy achievers 

ABU DHABI, 18 hours, 57 minutes ago 

Women who exude confidence both in the 

office and on the field are more likely to 

shatter the glass ceiling and accelerate 

their career progression, according to the 

region’s women oil and gas professionals. 

Persistence is key to making it in the oil 

and gas industry, said Amna Al Maqtari, 

process engineer at the Takreer Research 

Centre, which is part of the Petroleum 

Institute campus, an Abu Dhabi National 

Oil Company (Adnoc) educational centre. 

Al Maqtari, process engineer, Takreer Research Center 

“Don’t take no for an answer,” Al Maqtari 

said. “If someone tells you that you cannot 

do something on the basis that you are a woman, don’t just walk away. Insist that you are capable of doing it 

yourself, and you will find that most times, people will listen.” 

The oil and gas industry, traditionally a male-dominated domain, has witnessed great strides in attracting and 

retaining more women into engineering positions. Women comprise a larger proportion of the global energy 

workforce today than at any point in history, said a statement. 



decade – from 9.9 per cent in 2005, to 18 per cent in 2014. 

Similarly, about 28 per cent of ExxonMobil’s global workforce is women, and last year, 40 per cent of 

management and professional new hires were women, significantly higher than the percentage of women in 

its overall employee population. 

However, there are still challenges to be met. According to a 2015 report by PricewaterhouseCoopers, only 

five per cent of executive board seats in the top UK-headquartered energy firms are currently held by women, 

while 61 per cent of leadership boards have no women present at all. 

Continuous efforts will have to be made to support the industry’s female workforce, and distinguishing women 

achievers as role models is an important component of that process, according to women in the industry. 

The Adipec 2015 Oil & Gas Woman of the Year Award will recognise a female whose career has progressed 

at a rapid pace, demonstrating the empowerment process in her company that encouraged her to reach her 

aspirations.

inside first. 

“Managing your internal expectations is key, and this holds true for any employee whether male or female.

The shortlist for the award will be announced on October 12, while the winners and runners-up will be 

revealed at the Adipec Gala Awards Dinner on Adipec’s opening night on November 9. The event will run till 

November 12. 

Adipec will also be hosting its annual ‘Women in Industry’ event, bringing together women leaders in the oil 

and gas industry to share their experiences and challenge the perception that energy is a male domain. 

For the first time, the full-day event will also invite male speakers to the panel to shed light on the challenges 

and opportunities for women in the energy arena.

10/6/2015 All Eyes On Abu Dhabi As World Looks To ADIPEC 2015 For Best Practice In Energy #AbuDhabi Abu Dhabi City Guide 

All Eyes On Abu Dhabi As World Looks To ADIPEC 2015 For Best Practice In Energy 

(30 September 2015) 

Pooling both knowledge and rd resources through 

international collaboration is critical for the 

development of the oil and gas industry, said world 

representatives at a recent gathering in Abu Dhabi 

for members of the prestigious Middle East 

Petroleum Club (MEPC), the definitive club for 

senior oil and gas executives. 

Speaking at the MEPCAl Multaqa event, guests were 

given an exclusive preview of the key issues that will 

be addressed at this year's Abu Dhabi International 

Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), 

one of the world's leading energy events and a global 

meeting place for oil and gas professionals. 

Al Multaqa, which means 'The Gathering' in Arabic, 


also invites representatives from both existing and 

prospective ADIPEC participating countries to gain insight about the knowledgeexchange and business 

opportunities available at what is now considered a flagship event for the global energy sector. 

Norway, Europeâ€s largest oil producer, will be participating in the acclaimed energy event once 

again in the form of a dedicated country pavilion, where more than 17 Norwegian companies will be 

present. This marks the 10th year that Norway has a presence at ADIPEC. 

Per systein Vatne, Charg affaires at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, said: Research and 

development is a critical asset for the oil and gas industry, and today there is an increased focus on 

advancing the energy sector with consideration to the health and safety of our community and the 

environment. 

As a global meeting place and a forum for dialogue that has the power to shape the future of the 

industry, ADIPEC provides us an excellent platform to showcase to the world what we have achieved in 

Norway, connect with important players in this region, and explore all things sustainable in the energy 

sector, he added. 

Also in attendance at the prestigious gathering was Kaiser Araujo representing the Embassy of Brazil. 

According to a recent Research and Markets report, Brazil is expected to be the world's second leading 

emerging nation in the oil and gas industry after China in 2018, valued at USD 157.8 billion. 

â€œWe have many oil reserves and major fields under development, many of which are off the coast 

and in very deep waters, so global industry events like ADIPEC can help us attract the right investors 

and partnerships to develop those areas, said Mr Araujo. While we produce our oil domestically, we still 

export it for processing, so we can also use this opportunity to acquire knowledge that will help us 

further advance our refining capacity.

We have more than three decades of experience extracting from offshore reserves using the most 

sophisticated technology, so in addition to using the event as a channel for learning and relationship 

building, our companies also have plenty of expertise to share, Mr Araujo added. 

Exhibiting at ADIPEC for the sixth consecutive edition of the event, Nama Development Enterprises is 

one of the leading local business groups serving the UAE energy sector. The firm represents nearly 40 

multinational companies that provide various services to the oil and gas industry. 

â€œADIPEC provides our principals a valuable opportunity to connect with different stakeholders, from 

contractors to endusers, and forge new relationships,â€ said Abdulaziz Daadouche, Energy Division 

Manager at Nama Development Enterprises. â€œTheÂ different facets of the event,Â be it the 

Ministerial and CEO Plenary sessions or the Technical Conference, allows exhibitors to get up to speed 

with what is happening in the market and engage with industry leaders and experts, enabling them to 

make educated business decisions.â€ 

Hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and organised by dmg events, ADIPEC 

2015 will take place from 912 November at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) and is

10/6/2015 Offshore set to make up 50% of Abu Dhabi output 

Offshore set to make up 50% of Abu Dhabi output 

, September 28th, 2015 

Offshore reserves will account for approximately 50% of total oil 

production in Abu Dhabi by 2018 as a result of continued investments in 

production capacity, industry experts revealed. 

With $25bn worth of investments in offshore oil projects planned by the Abu 

Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) over the next five years, advancing the 

sector through developments in research and technology is becoming ever more 

critical to preserving it as a valuable energy resource, say industry leaders. 

The ADNOC investment is part of the UAE’s strategy to boost its total oil output capacity to 3.5mn barrels per day (bpd) by 

201718 from the current 2.8mn bpd. 

Currently, an estimated 40% of oil produced in Abu Dhabi comes from offshore reserves, however sources say that figure will 

rise to 50% in the next three years. 

Globally, about 30% of oil produced worldwide comes from offshore oil wells, and offshore resources are playing a greater role 

in supplying the rising demand for energy, with a growing interest in the potential of deep water reserves. 

According to figures from a 2014 report by Total, the deep offshore is believed to contain more than 5% an estimated 300 

billion barrels of the world’s liquid hydrocarbon resources, or 12% of total conventional oil resources. 

In 2013, deep water liquid reserves accounted for 6% of global production. That share is forecast to rise to close to 11% of 

conventional oil output, or 9 million barrels per day, by 2035, according to the same document. 

Dagher Al Marar, Chief Executive Officer of the Abu Dhabi offshore services company, ESNAAD, said: “Offshore production will 

represent around 50 per cent of oil production in Abu Dhabi by 2018, and therefore ESNAAD’s offshore services primary role is 

to accommodate the logistical and technical requirements of this vital sector within the emirate of Abu Dhabi. 

"Tapping into offshore oil reserves has always had its specialty and challenges, and advances in technology have been helping 

the industry overcome such challenges.”

worth of investments in offshore oil 

projects over the next five years as part 

of the UAE’s strategy to boost its total oil output capacity to 3.5 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2017‐18, up 

from the current 2.8 million bpd. 

Currently, an estimated 40 per cent of oil produced in Abu Dhabi comes from offshore reserves and this is 

expected to rise to 50 per cent in the next three years, ADIPEC organisers said on Monday in a statement. 

Globally, about 30 per cent of oil produced worldwide comes from offshore oil wells and offshore resources 

are playing a greater role in supplying the rising demand for energy, with a growing interest in the potential 

of deep water reserves. 

According to figures from a 2014 report by Total, the deep offshore is believed to contain more than 5 per 

cent — an estimated “300 billion barrels” — of the world’s liquid hydrocarbon resources, or 12 per cent of 

total conventional oil resources. 

In line with regional and global efforts to continue exploring and developing offshore production, ADIPEC 

will be launching a dedicated Offshore, Marine and Heavy Equipment Zone situated on the waterfront at the 

Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec), only 150 metres away from the main exhibition floor. The 

new area will cover 8,000 gross square metres of space, with a jetty that extends 500 metres long. 

“ADIPEC is pleased to be the first oil and gas exhibition in the Mena [Middle East and North Africa] region to 

dedicate an entire waterfront section to offshore, subsea and marine products and services,” Ali Khalifa Al 

Shamsi, director of Strategy & Coordination at Adnoc and Adipex 2015 Chairman, said in a statement.

Offshore reserves to account for 

50 per cent of oil production in 

Abu Dhabi by 2018 

Offshore reserves will account for approximately 50 per cent of total oil production in Abu Dhabi by 2018 as a result 

of continued investments in production capacity, experts revealed yesterday. 

With $25 billion worth of investments in offshore oil projects planned by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company

Dagher Al Marar, Chief Executive Officer of the Abu Dhabi offshore services company, ESNAAD, and ADIPEC 2015 

Offshore and Marine Conference Advisory Board Member, said, “Offshore production will represent around 50 per 

cent of oil production in Abu Dhabi by 2018, and therefore ESNAAD’s offshore services primary role is to 

accommodate the logistical and technical requirements of this vital sector within the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Tapping 

into offshore oil reserves has always had its specialty and challenges, and advances in technology have been 

helping the industry overcome such challenges.” 

A purpose-built zone that provides water access, mooring, and quayside exhibition space will allow more than 200 

exhibitors to showcase a host of offshore products and services, including ships, rigs, and vessels, subsea drilling 

equipment, oceanography and mapping equipment, pipelines and piping components, and tools for reservoir 

production and monitoring. 

The inaugural ADIPEC Offshore and Marine Conference, produced and managed by dmg events, will take centrestage 

in a purpose built dedicated waterside theatre, where more than 40 industry experts will present valuable 

offshore oil and gas knowledge and information. 

Three keynote presentations will look at critical sector topics, including an economic analysis of offshore exploration 

and production, the role of the shipping industry in the 21stcentury, and operator cost reduction initiatives. 

In addition, 15 industry sessions will offer exclusive panel discussions, case studies, and project updates focusing on 

vital developments related to shipping, maritime security and safety, pipeline infrastructure and transportation, 




shallow and deep water exploration and production, oil field developments, drilling and completions, and 

technological advances. 

In addition to the three-day Offshore and Marine Conference, National Drilling Company (NDC) and Det Norske 

Veritas have joined hands with ADIPEC to host the 11thAnnual Regional Rigowners Seminar on Thursday, 12 

November under the theme “Asset Integrity: The New Industry Imperative”. 

“With offshore exploration and production on the global agenda, it is crucial that we develop sustainable and cost 

efficient methods of tapping into this valuable resource,” said Christopher Hudson, President – Global Energy, dmg 

events. “The ADIPEC 2015 Offshore, Marine and Heavy Equipment Conference and Exhibition will enable 

professionals to engage in thought-provoking discussions that will help make this possible.” 

Efficiency through innovation and automation should be the focus of the industry when considering cost-cutting 

measures in today’s economic environment, added Mr. Al Marar. 

“Thanks to technology and new field discovery, hydrocarbons will continue to be the primary source of energy as 

long as they are available,” Mr. Al Marar said. “Although it is important that we look into alternative sources of energy 

– particularly renewable energy – we also must continue developing the ones we have available.”

oil production in Abu Dhabi by 2018 as a result of continued investments in production capacity, experts 

revealed yesterday. 

With USD 25 billion worth of investments in offshore oil projects planned by the Abu Dhabi National Oil 

Company (ADNOC) over the next five years, advancing the sector through developments in research and 

technology is becoming ever more critical to preserving it as a valuable energy resource, say industry 

leaders. The ADNOC investment is part of the UAE’s strategy to boost its total oil output capacity to 3.5 

million barrels per day (bpd) by 2017-18 from the current 2.8 million bpd. 

Currently, an estimated 40 per cent of oil produced in Abu Dhabi comes from offshore reserves, however 

sources say that figure will rise to 50 per cent in the next three years. Globally, about 30 per cent of oil 

produced worldwide comes from offshore oil wells, and offshore resources are playing a greater role in 

supplying the rising demand for energy, with a growing interest in the potential of deep water reserves. 

According to figures from a 2014 report by Total, the deep offshore is believed to contain more than 5 per 

cent - an estimated 300 billion barrels - of the world’s liquid hydrocarbon resources, or 12 per cent of total 

conventional oil resources. In 2013, deep water liquid reserves accounted for 6 per cent of global production. 

That share is forecast to rise to close to 11 per cent of conventional oil output, or 9 million barrels per day, by 

2035, according to the same document. 

In line with regional and global efforts to continue exploring and developing offshore production, the Abu 

Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) will be launching a dedicated Offshore, 

Marine and Heavy Equipment Zone situated on the waterfront at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre 

(ADNEC), only 150 metres away from the main exhibition floor. The new area will cover 8,000 gross square 

metres of space, with a jetty that extends 500 metres long. 

“ADIPEC is pleased to be the first oil and gas exhibition in the MENA region to dedicate an entire waterfront 

section to offshore, subsea and marine products and services,” said Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Director of 

Strategy & Coordination at ADNOC, and ADIPEC 2015 Chairman. “The Offshore, Marine and Heavy 

Equipment Zone will allow exhibitors to showcase their subsea and marine products and services in their 

native environment, a unique advantage that will offer both participants and visitors a valuable experience.” 

Dagher Al Marar, Chief Executive Officer of the Abu Dhabi offshore services company, ESNAAD, and 

ADIPEC 2015 Offshore and Marine Conference Advisory Board Member, said: “Offshore production will 

represent around 50 per cent of oil production in Abu Dhabi by 2018, and therefore ESNAAD’s offshore 

services primary role is to accommodate the logistical and technical requirements of this vital sector within 

the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Tapping into offshore oil reserves has always had its specialty and challenges, and 

advances in technology have been helping the industry overcome such challenges.” 

A purpose-built zone that provides water access, mooring, and quayside exhibition space will allow more 

than 200 exhibitors to showcase a host of offshore products and services, including ships, rigs, and vessels, 

subsea drilling equipment, oceanography and mapping equipment, pipelines and piping components, and 

tools for reservoir production and monitoring.

The inaugural ADIPEC Offshore and Marine Conference, produced and managed by dmg events, will take 

centre-stage in a purpose built dedicated waterside theatre, where more than 40 industry experts will present 

valuable offshore oil and gas knowledge and information. 

Three keynote presentations will look at critical sector topics, including an economic analysis of offshore 

exploration and production, the role of the shipping industry in the 21st century, and operator cost reduction 

initiatives. 

In addition, 15 industry sessions will offer exclusive panel discussions, case studies, and project updates 

focusing on vital developments related to shipping, maritime security and safety, pipeline infrastructure and 

transportation, shallow and deep water exploration and production, oil field developments, drilling and 

completions, and technological advances. 

In addition to the three-day Offshore and Marine Conference, National Drilling Company (NDC) and Det 

Norske Veritas have joined hands with ADIPEC to host the 11th Annual Regional Rigowners Seminar on 

Thursday, 12 November under the theme “Asset Integrity: The New Industry Imperative”. 

“With offshore exploration and production on the global agenda, it is crucial that we develop sustainable and 

cost efficient methods of tapping into this valuable resource,” said Christopher Hudson, President – Global 

Energy, dmg events. “The ADIPEC 2015 Offshore, Marine and Heavy Equipment Conference and Exhibition 

will enable professionals to engage in thought-provoking discussions that will help make this possible.” 

Efficiency through innovation and automation should be the focus of the industry when considering costcutting 

measures in today’s economic environment, added Mr. Al Marar. 

“Thanks to technology and new field discovery, hydrocarbons will continue to be the primary source of 

energy as long as they are available,” Mr. Al Marar said. “Although it is important that we look into alternative 

sources of energy – particularly renewable energy – we also must continue developing the ones we have 

available.”

Industry Progress Must Be Aligned with Social, Moral, and Ethical Responsibilities, says BP UAE President 

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 28 September 2015 – The highly acclaimed ADIPEC Awards are continuing their recordbreaking 

streak, with the number of entries increasing by nearly one-third from 2014 to reach 501 entries this 

year. 

Nearly two-thirds of submissions came from outside the Middle East, with entries from newly participating 

countries, including China, Mexico, and Malaysia. In total, 247 organisations from 32 countries submitted 

their nominations this year, compared with 104 companies from 27 countries in 2014, underlining the 

ADIPEC Awards as a global platform for recognising excellence. 

This remarkable increase, say experts, can be attributed not only to the accolades’ prominent reputation, but 

also the growing need for industry innovation in today’s dynamic market environment. 

Mr Abdul Munim Saif Al Kindy, ADIPEC 2015 Awards Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of the Abu 

Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO), said: “The continuously increasing number of 

submissions and participating countries in the ADIPEC Awards demonstrates that the accolades are truly 

global in both merit and prestige.” 

“Today, the world’s largest National and International Oil Companies look to the Awards not only for

(ADNOC), offer regional oil and gas companies an opportunity to showcase their achievements and 

significant contributions to the industry. 

All submissions made to the ADIPEC Awards are meticulously evaluated by the Regional Select Jury (RSJ), 

which is comprised of 28 senior professionals from National and International Oil Companies, academic 

institutions, and professional associations. 

The Best Practice Award, a new category introduced this year, drew the highest number of entries. The 

award recognises the creation and successful implementation of an initiative that offers improvement to an 

internal business process, structure, or culture. 

“The overwhelmingly positive response we have received for the new Best Practice Award reflects the 

significant need for this category,” said Mr Jamal Jaafar, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Planning and 

Commercial, at the Kuwait Oil Company, and a member of the RSJ. 

“Whether it is risk reduction, improved timing, or better use of resources, what we see today is a growing 

necessity for cost-effective, sustainable strategies that will meet the world’s increasing demand for energy.” 

Coming in second and third respectively is the Best Oil & Gas Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) / 

Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Project or Initiative Award, and the Best Oil & Gas Innovation or 

Technology Award.

and accomplishments in the oil and gas industry. It has evolved significantly over the past few years,” said Mr 

AbdulKarim Al Mazmi, President and General Manager of BP UAE, and member of the RSJ. 

“While it is important that we advance the industry, it is even more important that we do so without forgetting 

about our obligations to our community and the environment. At BP, we aim to make a difference to the 

communities in which we operate. We seek to work in partnerships of mutual advantage while providing 

energy to customers in a safe, sustainable, and environmentally responsible manner. We believe that it is 

possible to progress the industry while fulfilling our social, moral, and ethical responsibilities, and companies 

are recognising that this is, in fact, crucial for the organic and long-term growth of the energy sector,” Mr Al 

Mazmi added. 

Oil and gas companies could enter eight categories: Best Oil & Gas Mega Project, Best Oil & Gas Innovation 

or Technology (Surface or Sub-surface), Best Oil & Gas Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) / Health, 

Safety, and Environment (HSE) Project or Initiative, Best Oilfield Services Company (Local, Regional or 

International), Young ADIPEC Engineer, Oil & Gas Woman of the Year, Best Dissertation of the Year, and 

Best Practice. 

Jean-Philippe Cossé, ADIPEC 2015 Event Director at dmg events, said: “The ADIPEC Awards are not only 

about celebrating past achievements, but also about presenting opportunities for improvement. By 

recognising excellence in the oil and gas industry, the Awards set benchmarks for others to follow, ultimately 

paving the path for a sustainable energy future.” 

The shortlist will be announced on 12 October 2015 and will name three finalists for each category. Winners 

and runners-up will be announced at the ADIPEC Awards Gala Dinner taking place at Emirates Palace on

Global Embassy Representatives and Energy Players Gather in Abu 

Dhabi for Exclusive Preview of GroundBreaking Oil & Gas Event 

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 30 September 2015 – Pooling both knowledge and 

resources through international collaboration is critical for the 

development of the oil and gas industry, said world representatives at a 

recent gathering in Abu Dhabi for members of the prestigious Middle East 

Petroleum Club (MEPC), the definitive club for senior oil and gas 

executives. 

Speaking at the MEPC ‘Al Multaqa’ event, guests were given an exclusive 

preview of the key issues that will be addressed at this year’s Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), one of the 

world’s leading energy events and a global meeting place for oil and gas 


Al Multaqa, which means ‘The Gathering’ in Arabic, also invites 

representatives from both existing and prospective ADIPEC participating 

countries to gain insight about the knowledgeexchange and business 

opportunities available at what is now considered a flagship event for the 

global energy sector. 



Norway, Europe’s largest oil producer, will be participating in the 

acclaimed energy event once again in the form of a dedicated country 

pavilion, where more than 17 Norwegian companies will be present. This 

marks the 10th year that Norway has a presence at ADIPEC. 

Per Øystein Vatne, Chargé d’affaires at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in 

Abu Dhabi, said: “Research and development is a critical asset for the oil 

and gas industry, and today there is an increased focus on advancing the 

energy sector with consideration to the health and safety of our 

community and the environment.” 

“As a global meeting place and a forum for dialogue that has the power to 

shape the future of the industry, ADIPEC provides us an excellent 

platform to showcase to the world what we have achieved in Norway, 

connect with important players in this region, and explore all things 

sustainable in the energy sector,” he added. 

Also in attendance at the prestigious gathering was Kaiser Araujo 

representing the Embassy of Brazil. According to a recent Research and 

Markets report, Brazil is expected to be the world’s second leading 

emerging nation in the oil and gas industry after China in 2018, valued at 

USD 157.8 billion. 

“We have many oil reserves and major fields under development, many of 

which are off the coast and in very deep waters, so global industry events 

like ADIPEC can help us attract the right investors and partnerships to 

develop those areas,” said Mr Araujo. “While we produce our oil 

domestically, we still export it for processing, so we can also use this 

opportunity to acquire knowledge that will help us further advance our 

refining capacity.” 

“We have more than three decades of experience extracting from offshore 

reserves using the most sophisticated technology, so in addition to using 



the event as a channel for learning and relationship building, our 

companies also have plenty of expertise to share,” Mr Araujo added. 

Exhibiting at ADIPEC for the sixth consecutive edition of the event, Nama 

Development Enterprises is one of the leading local business groups 

serving the UAE energy sector. The firm represents nearly 40 

multinational companies that provide various services to the oil and gas 

industry. 

“ADIPEC provides our principals a valuable opportunity to connect with 

different stakeholders, from contractors to endusers, and forge new 

relationships,” said Abdulaziz Daadouche, Energy Division Manager at 

Nama Development Enterprises. “The different facets of the event, be it 

the Ministerial and CEO Plenary sessions or the Technical Conference, 

allows exhibitors to get up to speed with what is happening in the market 

and engage with industry leaders and experts, enabling them to make 

educated business decisions.” 

Hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and organised 

by dmg events, ADIPEC 2015 will take place from 912 November at the 

Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) and is expected to host 

more than 85,000 attendees, 7,000 delegates, and 2,000 exhibitors from 

more than 120 countries. The event will welcome 23 international 

pavilions this year, including major oil producing countries US, China, and 

Canada. 

The Middle East Petroleum Club provides a platform for toplevel industry 

professionals to strengthen existing connections and forge new ones in a 

discreet and private environment at ADIPEC, and a range of events 

throughout the year. For further information on the MEPC, please visit

Abu Dhabi schools to nominate UAE energy 

ambassadors 

Young ADIPEC Ambassador's 

Held under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of 

Culture, Youth and Community Development, Young ADIPEC will offer students from schools 

across Abu Dhabi an exciting line-up of events designed to encourage youth to choose a career 

path in the oil and gas industry. 

The outreach programme is part of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and 

Conference (ADIPEC), one of the world’s leading energy events and a global meeting place for oil 

and gas professionals, business leaders, and decision makers. 

New for 2015 is a dedicated Young ADIPEC Ambassador’s Programme. Each participating school 

will nominate a student ambassador who will represent Young ADIPEC among his or her 

classmates, friends, and family. The aim of this newly developed role is to raise awareness of the 

programme to fellow students and offer the community insight about the many opportunities in the 

oil and gas industry. 

Mr. Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Director of strategy and coordination at ADNOC and ADIPEC 2015 

Chairman, said: “Increasing the uptake of engineering as a career path among Emirati students is 

still a challenge for the local oil and gas industry, but Young ADIPEC is committed to overcoming 

this hurdle by working with the industry to inspire young nationals to be at the forefront of future 

visions for the energy sector that will have an impact worldwide.” 

Gender gap 

According to the 2013/2014 UAE Higher Education Factbook, 17 % of Emirati students were 

enrolled in an engineering programme during that academic year. This figure falls to 13 per cent for 

female Emirati students, while for male students it stands at 24 %. 

Aimed at high school students between the ages of 14 and 17, Young ADIPEC is designed to 

highlight the wealth and diversity of career opportunities in the energy sector. Over 400 students 

from across the UAE have passed through the programme since its inception in 2013, and the 2015 

edition will host approximately 320 students from 16 private and government schools. 

Workplace experience 

Students will have an exciting opportunity to get hands-on experience during trips to oil field sites, 

training centres, innovation centres, as well as workshop and manufacturing facilities belonging to 

leading oil and gas companies, including the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations Ltd., 

(ADCO), Al Mansoori Specialised Engineering, Al Mazroui Engineering, Borouge, the National 

Drilling Company, The Petroleum Institute, Schlumberger, Total, and Weatherford. 

“It is crucial for the future development of any country to have its nationals working across all fields 

and sectors of its economy,” said Mr Wael Agha, Managing Director of Al Mazroui Engineering. 

“Empowering today’s youth with the required expertise and skillset is the only sure-fire way they will 

succeed and thrive both personally and professionally in this knowledge-based economy.”
