AMGIO 2011: Argus Mideast Gulf and Indian Ocean Oil Conference
1-2 March • InterContinental Dubai Festival City • Dubai • UAE
This highly anticipated event is part of Argus’ ongoing commitment to the development of
the Middle East and Indian Ocean region as an important trading hub for refined products.
Oil markets in the Mideast Gulf and south Asia are changing.
Mideast Gulf states and India with their refining capacity additions are emerging as strong oil product suppliers
to the international market. They are also becoming key demand centres because of surging domestic demand
brought on by strong economic growth. Without a doubt, what is happening in the Mideast Gulf and Indian
Ocean oil markets will have a profound impact on global crude and oil products supply and demand balances,
pricing and refining margins.
The inaugural AMGIO 2011: Argus Mideast Gulf and Indian Ocean Oil Conference in Dubai is a timely event to
focus on the emergence of the Mideast Gulf and south Asia as key trading hubs, the shifting trends in the crude
and products market in the region and the resultant new challenges and opportunities for market participants.
