Egypt Oil & Gas hosted on Monday 7th of May a Production Optimization Roundtable—A premier event allowing leaders in the oil and gas industry to connect and collaborate on the issue of optimizing production. This event is part of a four-day convention and is unprecedented in its ability to bring together leaders both within the private as well as the public sector.
