The final event in Markleen’s international events calendar for 2008 is SAOGE, the Saudi Arabia International Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition (www.saoge2008.com), taking place in Dammam, from November 17th to 19th, 2008.

This newly created conference and exhibition is sponsored by Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil producing and exporting company. Saudi Aramco celebrates the passage of 75 years since the signing of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s significant oil exploration concession agreement. This far-seeing decision ushered in the historic Saudi oil and development legacy, which thrust the Kingdom onto the world stage and ultimately made it an influential global force.

Through this new event, Markleen will be aiming to extend its presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through contacts with major players in the Saudi oil industry.
