Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe, the decision has been taken to postpone Oman Petroleum & Energy Show (OPES) 2020, 9th to 11th March.  OPES 2020 will now take place between 14th to 16th September 2020, at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre (OCEC), Muscat, Oman.

This decision is supported by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Oil and Gas, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), and Omanexpo.

We have been having regular dialogue with the Ministry of Health, Oman, as well as the Ministry of Oil and Gas, Oman, in relation to COVID-19.  We as organisers must commend the way that the COVID 19 (Coronavirus) outbreak is being very competently controlled in Oman, we must be conscious that many organisations within our community are currently facing difficulties travelling around the world.   It is for these travel reasons that OPES 2020 will be postponed until later in 2020.

Whilst we realise that the change in dates may amount to some inconvenience for companies it is paramount to put the health of those due to visit OPES 2020, and the wider population of Oman, at the centre of this decision.

The outbreak of COVID-19 is a situation affecting the globe and it is having an unprecedented impact on businesses around the world, events are of course part of this due to nature of the large gathering of people that they represent.

We thank you in advance for your understanding in this unprecedented matter.
