In response to the evolving dynamics of downstream petroleum markets across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, Petrosil is set to host the seventh AMEA Bitumen, Base Oil and Logistics Convention & Exhibition in Muscat on November 23, 2026. Known as AMEA Oman 2026, this one-day event will take place at the Radisson Collection Muscat, Hormuz Grand. It marks Petrosil’s inaugural industry event in Oman, following over 20 successful conventions held in cities like Dubai, Bangkok, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain since 2012. The gathering aims to unite industry stakeholders, including producers, refiners, traders, and logistics providers, with more than 25 sponsors and exhibitors already on board.
Oman’s strategic location plays a pivotal role in regional trade, offering maritime access to the Indian subcontinent, East Africa, and Asia. The country’s ports and logistics infrastructure, particularly in Sohar and Duqm, have become increasingly significant as businesses explore alternative trade corridors amid disruptions in established shipping routes. These developments are vital for the downstream petroleum sector, where logistics can significantly influence the economics of products such as bitumen, base oils, lubricants, and waxes. The convention will focus on these logistics aspects, emphasizing the importance of vessel availability, freight costs, and storage capacity in shaping downstream transactions.
The bitumen market, closely tied to infrastructure development and road construction, faces changing supply conditions influenced by refinery operations and international trade flows. For instance, India’s bitumen supply has improved due to increased local production and alternative crude sources, reflecting a broader trend in the AMEA region where companies are increasingly adopting diversified sourcing strategies. The convention will address these supply dynamics, offering insights into demand, grades, specifications, and delivery options.
Additionally, the event will cover related downstream markets, including base oils, lubricants, additives, and waxes. These products are critical for various industrial applications, and their supply chains are affected by changes in refinery economics and trade flows. The convention will explore sourcing strategies, supply flows, and blending economics for base oils and lubricants, alongside formulation requirements for additives and the distribution of waxes. By focusing on these interconnected areas, AMEA Oman 2026 aims to facilitate new business relationships across the region.
