NEWS
2011 Middle East / North Africa Perforating Symposium (MENAPS)
The 2011 MENAPS was a huge success. This was the second Symposium run outside the US after two very successful Symposiums in Houston in 2008 and 2010 and the Aisa Pacific one in Kuala Lumpur in 2010. Turnout (around 70) for the conference was a good balance of Operators, Manufacturers and Service Providers. This turnout combined with papers which were on a par with previous Symposiums and also a very healthy sponsorship.
I think special thanks must go to both the co-chair who were Osama Hanna (ADCO) and Hanaey Ibrahim (PDO) along with all the committee members for an excellent Symposium and a first class venue.
The presentations and photos from the conference are now on this website.
