Middle East Scout Group

Sharjah National Oil Corporations (SNOC) has taken over the coordination role for the Middle East Scout Group. MESG was chaired by Mark Sarssam, SNOC Business Development Manager, and was attended by leading representatives from oil and gas industries. The first meeting was held virtually on 10th December 2020.

Overview:
Established over 30 years ago, the Middle East Scout Group (formerly know as Dubai Scout Group) is one of the longest-running established oil industry scout groups in the region.

The Group is self-regulated and does not have subscription charges. Members take turns sponsoring five events per year, which are held in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Muscat. Current membership comprises over 37 companies involved in Middle East E&P activities.

What we do:

• Exchange information of current and planned E&P operational activities and other updates, subject to confidentiality constraints, e.g. farm-out announcements.
• Informal discussion forum covering the results of E&P activities in the region and relevant technical and operational issues. One meeting per year will be combined with a geological field trip.
• Networking
