Middle Eastern And North African Oil Producing Countries Will Invest $525 Billion On Energy Projects From Next Year To 2016

The MIDDLE EAST TURBOMACHINERY & PUMPS EXPO(METPE) the First of its Kind conference to be held in UAE on May-9th and 10th -2012 in Abu Dhabi. With strong demand for upstream oil and gas projects, power generation, and desalination, key markets in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait are driving growth for the multi-billion dollar turbo Machinery & pumps industry, despite setbacks in other regions due to the worldwide slowdown.

Middle Eastern and North African oil producing countries will invest $525 billion on energy projects from next year to 2016, Nations such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iran and Algeria have increased spending on energy projects for the next five years as current high oil prices are allowing them to resume projects that were delayed because of to the financial crisis, the Arab Petroleum Investments Corp said. Saudi Arabia will top the list with committed investments of $141 billion, followed by the UAE that is planning to invest $76 billion in that period, according to Apicorp.

The MIDDLE EAST TURBOMACHINERY & PUMPS EXPO (METPE) the First of its Kind conference to be held in UAE has announced six instructional workshops for engineers and other technical professionals in the gas turbine & Pumps field. The workshops to be held on June 9th and 10th of 2011, at the Al Raha Beach Hotel, Abu Dhabi. The event will provide hands-on training for professionals seeking to broaden their knowledge and proficiency in various gas turbine & Pumps topics, including maintenance and repair. The training will take place in conjunction with METPE EXPO in Jun 2112.The titles of the workshops for turbines are INTRODUCTION TO GAS TURBINES , VIBRATIONS & PROBLEMS IN TURBO MACHINERY-; LATERAL ROTORDYNAMICS OF PETROCHEMICAL EQUIPMENT, TURBO COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE AND COMPONENT CONDITION MONITORING; MAGNETIC BEARING IN TURBO MACHINEY-,PREVENTIVE MAINTAINENCE & for the Pumps Workshop the topics are ELECTRONIC DATA EXCHANGE IN PUMPS; HIGH PRESSURE PUMPS- CETRIFUGAL VERSUS RECIPROCATING CONSIDERATIONS; SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS,ALIGNMENT AND VIBRATION FUNDAMENTALS, POSITIVE DISPLACEMENTS –ROTARY PUMPS;& MECHANICAL SEALS- VERSUS SEAL LESS PUMPS.
