October marked the 14th edition of the ICIS Middle Eastern Base Oils & Lubricants Conference in Dubai. Once again, more than 350+ attendees from across the base oils and lubricants value chain gathered at the conference at the InterContinental Dubai Festival City.


The theme of the 2017 conference focused around ‘Increasing strategic advantage in the Middle East – Evolving priorities for a key player on the global stage’ and saw presentations from key organisations including Luberef, Bapco, Tianhe Chemical, Advanced International Lubricants, Transocean and many more.


Alongside the presentations across the two days, the exhibition area created a busy and buoyant atmosphere at the conference with hundreds of business meetings taking place throughout the course of the event. Key regional and global organisations were present including Saudi Aramco, Morgan Additives, Eni, General Petroleum, Infineum and many more.


The event opened with an insightful presentation from Arthur D. Little covering macroeconomics in the Middle East to set the tone for the one and a half days. After providing an economic outlook for the region, the speaker then went on to cover the role and development of electric vehicles in the region. A key topic throughout the conference, discussion continued the next day with a presentation from Geeta Agashe & Associates entitled ‘The impact of the electric revolution on the lubricants industry.


Other highlights from the meeting included an interactive discussion session from Luberef offering insights on their G-II expansion project and a thought-provoking presentation from Bapco examining G-III capacity and demand.
