Today ASTM International, a global standards organization, announced that it is a supporting partner of the World Heavy Oil Congress & Exhibition, September 3-5, at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre in Muscat.

Held under the auspices of the Ministry of Oil & Gas, Sultanate of Oman, the exhibition is a globally-recognized event where the heavy-oil value chain convenes and interacts.

The event allows heavy oil professionals to exchange knowledge through a three-day technical conference on topics including upstream, midstream, and downstream heavy-oil operations, and heavy-oil research and technology.

“ASTM International is pleased to be a supporting partner of this global event,” according to Nick Ecart, the organization’s director of business development for Europe, Middle East, and Africa. “We look forward to working with industry professionals interested in learning about the value of ASTM International’s high-quality standards and services.”
