To be staged at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre from the 14th to the 16th of March, AOG 2018 will once again bring petroleum industry specialists together in Australia to display the latest in technology and to hear from leading experts from around the globe.

With strong support from the Australian and Western Australian Governments, the City of Perth and the local oil and gas industry, AOG is considered as one of the key events on the global petroleum industry calendar and 2018 is shaping up to be one of the most important offerings of the event ever.

With the majority of the big Australian projects now in, or about to enter their production phase, industry followers from around the globe will be making their way to Perth next March to hear about opportunities in the operations phase and the next round of oil and gas developments which are currently being progressed towards commercialisation.

AOG 2018 will also include lively discussion on what is happening in the gas sector, with critical concerns being raised about a lack of sufficient production to meet demand, while at the same time governments from around the country are closing down large areas to unconventional exploration and production.

Bill Hare, Event Director for AOG 2018 organiser Diversified Communications, said the oil and gas world will again be making its way to Perth next March for what will be a critical event, “As well as the strong local involvement in both the Exhibition and Conference, we are again expecting to host a number of significant country delegations from the leading oil and gas producing regions,” Mr Hare said.

“I have recently returned from attending some major petroleum events in the northern Hemisphere and the feedback was very positive about AOG 2017 with many noting they are looking forward to returning in 2018.”

Alongside the world-class AOG 2018 exhibition, event organisers will again be running a series of free conferences and a number of exciting networking events.The inaugural “free” industry forums held at AOG 2017 were a tremendous hit with both attendees and participants and Diversified Communications has again elected to hold the Collaboration, Subsea and Knowledge forums on the exhibition floor at AOG 2018. Mr Hare said approximately 2000 people attended the free conferences in 2017 and organisers are expecting an even bigger turnout next year.

Also to be staged within the Expo Halls will be a number of popular industry zones covering Subsea; Health, Safety & Environment; Instrumentation Control & Automation; and a “new” Asset Integrity Zone.

Networking a big part of AOG 2018

AOG is well established as a premier networking forum for oil and gas industry professionals to meet face-to-face with decision-making service providers, engineers, technical professionals and suppliers.
“Now more than ever, AOG’s role as a platform for the global exchange of information on new techniques and technologies will have a significant impact on moving the Australasian oil and gas sector forward,” Mr Hare said.
In 2018, AOG will be introducing attendees to an exciting new concept – the “AOG Festival”.

“We are very excited to be announcing the introduction of the AOG Festival for AOG 2018,” Mr Hare said.
“To be run straight after the show concludes on Days 1 and 2, this will be an ideal way for exhibitors, presenters and attendees to unwind and network with some food, drinks and entertainment in the beautiful grounds of the Convention Centre,” Mr Hare said.

The “AOG Festival” will complement the popular Subsea Welcome Drinks and the AOG Diversity & Inclusion Breakfast.

“Once again there will be something for everyone at AOG. Whether you are an industry veteran or someone looking to get involved, AOG 2018 is a must attend event on the global oil and gas calendar,” Mr Hare said.
