The seventh AMEA Bitumen, Base Oil and Logistics Convention & Exhibition, hosted by Petrosil, is set to take place in Muscat, Oman, on November 23, 2026. This event, known as AMEA Oman 2026, will unfold at the Radisson Collection Muscat, Hormuz Grand, marking Petrosil’s inaugural industry event in Oman after hosting more than 20 similar events in locations such as Dubai, Bangkok, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain since 2012. The convention aims to gather a wide array of industry participants, including producers, refiners, traders, blenders, and logistics providers, with over 25 sponsors and exhibitors already confirmed.
Muscat’s strategic location offers access to maritime routes that link the Middle East with the Indian subcontinent, East Africa, and Asia. This advantageous positioning, coupled with Oman’s ports, industrial zones, and evolving logistics infrastructure, enhances its significance in regional trade. In the downstream petroleum market, factors such as transportation and infrastructure directly influence delivered costs. Recent disruptions in shipping routes have heightened the focus on alternative trade corridors, with ports like Sohar and Duqm gaining prominence as companies explore new options for regional transportation and transshipment.
The conference will address significant shifts in bitumen markets, where demand is closely tied to road construction and infrastructure projects, especially in emerging markets. Bitumen supply conditions are shaped by refinery operations, crude availability, and international trade flows. The situation in India exemplifies these dynamics, where domestic bitumen availability has improved through increased local production and alternative crude sources. Across the broader AMEA region, stakeholders are exploring diversified sourcing strategies and alternative transportation routes to mitigate supply risks.
Additionally, the convention will delve into related downstream markets, including base oils, lubricants, additives, and waxes. These products, essential for various industrial applications, are influenced by changes in refinery economics and international trade flows. For businesses in these sectors, maintaining consistent product quality and efficient distribution is crucial. The event will highlight the importance of logistics, which plays a key role in the final economics of downstream petroleum transactions, emphasizing the need for reliable supply-chain planning and logistics providers.
AMEA Oman 2026 will cover interconnected areas of the downstream petroleum sector, focusing on bitumen supply and demand, base oils and lubricants sourcing, additives formulation, waxes trade, and logistics resilience. The convention aims to foster new partnerships among suppliers, customers, and logistics providers across the AMEA region.
