Attended the 10th Asian Oil & Gas Conference at the newly opened KLCC Convention Centre last Thursday. An old friend, Jane, whom I bumped into on Wednesday, invited me to her Schlumberger booth. Had wanted to visit this prestigious event when she called but was too preoccupied with other commitments then. The event was held from the 13th to the 16th of June.


Wished I had more time to visit the booths though. The major corporations such as PETRONAS, ExxonMobile, Schlumberger and others sure had very large and sophisticated booths. Some even had a coffee bar at the side and a lounging area at the top. You sure can imagine the number of deals made and sales leads generated during this event. By the way, some companies even hired gorgeous ladies clad in skimpy dresses to the promotions. Now, what does a sexy girl and a drilling pipe have to do with each other? You go figure, ;-)

My admin clerk visited the exhibition booths and came back with loads of cool 'designer-like' paper bags, pens, etc. Sigh, I took none and wished I had gone earlier or had been more kiasu, *cough*, forward like her.

Getting there: Above ground, you can't missed it among the modern architectures around the KLCC Park. Underground, from the Putra station, walk your way towards Suria KLCC new wing located at the concourse level. Right between Tower Records and Guardian, you will see the entrance to the passageway, and mind you, it's a very long walk towards the convention centre. No one is complaining though since there's air-conditioning all the way.
