In the first year a biennial usually produces a rosette of leaves (e.g., the cabbage) and a fleshy root, which acts as a food reserve over the winter. conference, organised by Omanexpo, will feature training workshops and technical presentations on beam pumping (BP), electrical submersible pumps A submersible pump is a pump which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The advantage of this type of pump is that it can provide a significant lifting force as it does not rely on external air (ESPs), gas lifting, and progressing cavity cavity /cav·i·ty/ (kav´i-te) 1. a hollow place or space, or a potential space, within the body or one of its organs. 2. in dentistry, the lesion produced by caries. pumps.

MEALF 2009 has also received the support of Alkhorayef Petroleum and Weatherford Oil Tool Middle East as gold sponsors. Many other leading companies in the industry are also backing MEALF 2009 as the event's silver sponsors.

Baker Hughes is the market leader in the ESP systems industry for both oilfield and water well applications. Lufkin's oilfield pumping units are known throughout the world as the industry standard, while Novomet manufactures complete ESP stands for oil production, water injection pumps An Injection Pump is the device that pumps fuel into the cylinders of a diesel engine or less typically, a gasoline engine. Traditionally, the pump is driven indirectly from the crankshaft by gears, chains or a toothed belt (often the timing belt) that also drives the camshaft on and test-benches for testing the equipment. Sertecpet, which is based in Ecuador, is dedicated to building equipment for the oil industry including artificial lifting systems by pumping hydraulic pressure. Another silver sponsor, Wood Group ESP, is a global leader in the manufacture, testing, repair and service of submersible pumping equipment. All sponsors of the event will have a strong presence at the event by bringing in a large number of delegates to the conference and setting up stalls at the exhibition.
