Furthermore, Mr Turaiki will offer a Keynote presentation on Wednesday 14 December during the Gas Flaring Reduction Day.

It has been estimated that over 5% of natural gas is wasted yearly through flaring. The GPA GCC will also exhibit as part of the Summit associated activities.
The Gas Arabia Summit will take place in Muscat, Oman, 11-14 December 2011, and will feature the 4 TH Annual Sour Gas Meeting, the 2 day Summit, the Gas Flaring Reduction Day and the Oman LNG site visit.
