South: High Potential Market for Engineering Contractors

Refining Committee to Meet in Delhi• DrRKMalhotratochairtheCABmeetingon6thSeptember2013• Conferencetostressonrefiningtechnologies

The refining committee members have proposed organising one-day parallel conference on the 3 rd

day of the Oil & Gas World Expo 2014 scheduled from 10th to 12th February 2014 in Mumbai to complete the value chain of the hydrocarbon industry. The Central Advisory Members (CAB) have shared their views regarding the structure of the

international conference. Proposed sessions include AdvancesinRefining&Petroleum,Technological Advances, EnvironmentFriendly Technologies& TechnologicalInnovationsinPetrochemicals&Polymers.

The proposed programme will be presented and discussed during the committee’s CAB meeting which is shortly going to be held under the chairmanship of Dr R K Malhotra, Director, Research & Development, IOCL.

Mr Narayan appreciated CHEMETCH’s effort to organise one-day EPC conference as some of the key projects in the downstream industry have already been planned and stressed on choosing a unique theme and topics th at would be relevant for the industry based in South. He has also given his consent to attend the inaugural of the conference.

Mr Narayan noted that despite the brief hiatus, he believed that this was a good time to invest and RIL was surging with the investment plans worth USD 20 billion. By the time the projects would be commissioned, the markets are likely to stabilise, he added.

Mr Samudra expressed his delight in attending the EPC CAB get together which enabled meeting his colleagues and professionals from the same peer group at one place, which otherwise was difficult. He stressed upon involving the service seeking and allied service providing companies based in South to which all the members agreed.

Mr Samudra noted that there had been a surge in number of PMCs India and southern part of the country.

The board has proposed 3 sessions and 1 panel discussion along with suggested topics

and speakers for the industry meet. The EPC

conference will aim at highlighting the available

opportunities and deliberate on topical issues

of interest for the engineering contracting

industry.

The board will take the final call on the

conference programme during the next

board meeting which will be scheduled later

this month and extend the invitations to the

speakers.
