The 18th ICIS Middle Eastern Base Oils and Lubricants Conference is the premier event for professionals in the base oils and lubricants industry. Following the success of 2022, the conference will be returning to the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Jeddah on the 17-18 October.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a major hub for speciality lubricant products, producing 60% of Group II and 40% of Group I specification of base oils. In addition, there is a substantial proportion of additive companies within the region, adding to the many reasons why Jeddah is a perfect location for the conference.

As the largest gathering of base oils and lubricants professionals in the Middle East, with 30+ nationalities in attendance, the conference offers unparalleled networking. With a wide mix of industry leaders from across the value chain, there is an abundance of new opportunities to be found.

Providing extensive coverage of the market, with a regional focus. Participate in thought-provoking content sessions and engage with peers from across the value chain. With sustainability and decarbonisation high on people’s and companies’ agendas, the world has seen several new trends emerging. One that is having a marked impact on the industry is the growing number of electric vehicles, which is creating challenges for the base oils and lubricants markets both now and in the future as they look to provide improved quality whilst also providing recycled options. This has resulted in an agenda that is designed to provide exclusive outlooks on pressing topics such as these, whilst allowing time for plenty of market insight and networking.
