Singapore, December 5, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - Being the largest and most relevant international industry event for Asia's oil and gas community, companies choose OSEA and OGmTech as their launch platform, to make important announcements, and above all, be well-placed to tap into the vast Oil & Gas network available.

OSEA2014 and OGmTech2014 featured a smorgasbord of some of the best technologies and solutions covering engineering, instrumentation and control, rig-building and oilfields, exploration and offshore installation sectors, and specialised precision engineering capabilities. Attendees were spoilt for choice as they traversed the exhibition halls in search of equipment and services that bring higher productivity, lower overall expenditure, and most importantly, increase output.

"We are pleased to observe high levels of excitement across the event: on the exhibition floors, hospitality suites, and at the conference. Representatives from major industry players and SMEs had a productive time, be it from sourcing for the right equipment or services, networking with regular and new business leads, or picking up fresh and varied perspectives from industry's movers and shakers," said Mr Chua Buck Cheng, Project Director for Engineering Events from OSEA organiser, Singapore Exhibition Services.

"Smartec is a precision engineering company, we build oil tools for customers in the oil and gas industry. I am at OSEA to look for business opportunities, at the same time there are a number of products that are relevant to my trade and my purchasing department can use OSEA to source for products as well as gain new contacts. OSEA is at the right place, held at the right time, and attracts the right people, whether you want to buy or sell, everything is here.

It is a great place for me to explore innovation to help reengineer what we currently do," said visitor Mr. Christopher Tan, Managing Director, Smartec, Singapore.

"I regard OSEA as the BEST show in the region. I can see many global suppliers, and also a comprehensive range of products and services at a single platform.
