  • (1888PressRelease) December 08, 2011 - Water is becoming more and more valuable to the energy industry in terms of production levels, supply, treatment and environmental solutions. Oil and gas production in areas such as the Middle East and Central America will begin to decline with out sufficient water management causing catastrophic consequences not only to their countries but for the energy market.

    Held at the Madinat Jumeirah - Mina A' Salam, Dubai and under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum the Global Water: Oil & Gas Summit will take place on 21‐23 May 2012 and is the first international event of its kind to bring together senior decision makers in the water, oil and gas industries to discuss the role and demand for water in the oil and gas industry.

    This strategic three day conference and workshop will look in‐depth at the role of water in the production of oil and gas by bringing together industry experts to explain the growing demand and importance of the water industry and the need for collaboration.
    Water is increasingly becoming a critical part of project planning for oil and gas refineries, with refineries creating vast amounts of contaminated water that can be managed in a number of different ways. Zahra Al‐Hammadi, belonging to the State Company for Oil Projects of Iraq will share their experiences and highlight opportunities in the refining sector. Further to this a special address made by Michael Flynn of NASA will discuss the sustainability of water in drought affected oil and gas producing countries while explaining research results NASA has undertaken in this area over the past years.

    With a number of water companies announcing new technologies to mitigate costs and risk associated with the treatment of water within the oil and gas industry, Dr Zara Khatib of Shell International E&P will explain how these can be integrated and benefit the oil and gas industry economically.

    Day two of the summit will conclude with a round table discussion session led by The International World Water Council on training and synergy for engineers in water, oil, gas and the need for collaboration between the industries.
    Key support to date for this international summit includes; The International World Water Council, Global Water Intelligence, Veolia Water Solutions and Technologies, VWS Oil and Gas and CH2MHILL.
