PCIC Middle-East Preliminary Technical Programme
05 July 2012
The Technical Program consists of 16 papers written and presented by senior engineers working in End-User Companies (Shell, ExxonMobil, Hess ... ), Engineering Firms (Technip, KBR ...), and Equipment Manufacturers (ABB, Eaton, Schneider Electric, Thermon ...). The papers will be presented during 2 days in single sessions thus ensuring that no paper need be missed.
