The Egyptian pavilion at MEOS 2015

MEOS started in Bahrain in 1979 as the Gulf's first oil and gas show. At its 19th edition in March 2015, Zain Exhibitions organised Egypt's national pavilion, branded “EGYPT – Ministry of Petroleum”. It was the first of the Egyptian pavilions Zain ran at Gulf oil and gas shows between 2015 and 2017.

About MEOS

MEOS, the Middle East Oil & Gas Show and Conference, runs under the patronage of Bahrain's Prime Minister. All six GCC national oil companies support it: ADNOC, BAPCO, KPC, PDO, Qatar Petroleum and Saudi Aramco. They take showcase stands at the show and bring visitor delegations.

Arabian Exhibition Management (AEM) organises the exhibition and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) runs the conference, at the Bahrain International Exhibition & Convention Centre in Manama. The brochure calls MEOS “the most established showcase of oil and gas products and services in the Middle East”.

What Zain did

Zain organised Egypt's national pavilion at the 19th edition, held 8–11 March 2015. The pavilion carried an illuminated “EGYPT – Ministry of Petroleum” fascia over the stands of Egyptian petroleum companies.

What followed

MEOS 2015 opened a run of Egyptian participation at the Gulf's oil and gas shows:

  • October 2015: Egypt's pavilion at KOGS 2015 in Kuwait, one of three national groups at the show.
  • March 2016: 46 Egyptian delegates registered by Zain for GEO 2016 in Bahrain.
  • October 2017: the Egyptian petroleum sector's 12-company pavilion at KOGS 2017.
