Organised by SPE and UBM AEM, this year’s event will bring together industry leaders and experts

As the oil and gas business begins to rebound, the 3rd Society of Petroleum Engineers Kuwait Oil & Gas Show and Conference (KOGS) is poised to be the single biggest gathering of the oil and gas industry ever seen in Kuwait. The combined conference and exhibition will take place from October 15–18 in Kuwait and is supported by the Ministry of Oil, State of Kuwait, Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), and Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC).

Organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and UBM AEM, this year’s event – themed "Shaping the Energy Future: Integration and Diversification" – will bring together industry leaders, experts, stakeholders, and oil and gas professionals from different sectors of the industry, to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and technological advances.

"The future of energy is rife with complex uncertainties, which is how we selected this year’s theme," says Nizar Al-Adsani, CEO, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, and Conference Chairperson. "Global demand growth will be entirely generated by developing nations, while greater energy efficiency from technological developments will keep global demand in check. Staying informed of market developments is necessary," he says.
