Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 03 October, 2004: The 12th

establishment of ADIPEC as one of the world’s premier events for
the global oil and gas industry.
“In the UAE alone there are more than US $18 Billion worth of
onshore and offshore governmental projects available for
qualified companies. Decision makers from many oil producing
countries in the region will attend ADIPEC and this represents a
great opportunity for the local and regional market to evaluate
the best of what Italy has to offer the oil and gas sector” said
Dr. Ferdinando Fiore, the Italian Trade Commissioner in the UAE,
Stating that Italian producers were specially eyeing Abu Dhabi
where ADNOC is offering huge contracts, Dr. Fiore said: “Most of
these contracts are long term projects and Italian companies,
backed up by the Italian Trade Commission, will work hard to
secure some of these projects and showcase to visitors the
quality of Italian products and services in this sector”.
“With Abu Dhabi looking to increase its oil production and also
looking into the conversion of sour gas, the potential is
immense and presents huge opportunities. Across the region
countries are investing heavily in the industry and ADIPEC
allows the many stakeholders to gather and examine the products
on offer “, said Gordon Brown, Head of Commercial Section at the
British Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
Noting the rapidly increasing representation by Canadian
companies at ADIPEC, John Rodney, Trade Commissioner at the
Embassy of Canada in Abu Dhabi said: “Canada’s participation at

future”.
