The 3rd Saudi Arabia International Oil and Gas Exhibition (SAOGE 2010) were held on 10-12 October 2010 at the Dhahran International Exhibitions Center in Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

SAOGE 2010 continues to be the largest oil & gas industry exhibition ever staged in Saudi Arabia.

This year SAOGE drew its largest ever attendance, with over 260 companies with an excellent global representation from 34 countries from all over the world.

In the Three-Day exhibition, AFI received visitors in the booth from Saudi Arabia and other countries. We had also the opportunity to receive Mr. Abdul Fattah, Mr. Japp Vaandrager, Mr. Erik Van der Ende, Mr Hussain Al-Raee, and all AFI Area Managers. During the first day of exhibition people from 34 countries crowded the exhibition center.     

Comparing to the previous year’s SAOGE 2010 was the best for us. All of our staff in the booth were in uniform, a black polo shirt with AFI Logo. The exhibition stand was so attractive for the visitors. Our partner from RESATO, ENERPAC, & ASCO were also there to support in receiving the customer.
