INTERNATIONAL NGL FORUM

There is a current drive to increase production of Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) in the Middle East with specific and significant developments taking place. Of particular interest are the Khursaniyah Oil & Gas and Hawiyah NGL Recovery programmes in Saudi Arabia, the massive Al-Khaleej gas phase 2 development in Qatar, and developments in the UAE make the Habshan-Bab Gas Complex one of the biggest gas complexes in the world.

These new NGL expansion programmes have and will continue to further demand for condensate and LPG both for domestic use and the invaluable export market.

Associated with these expansion plans will require increased staffing levels and this forum has been called at this time to review and update the various technical advances in NGL processing and operation.
