The BG Energy Challenge 2008 - Oman took place in Oman from 27-29 February. 25 teams from across the energy sector, participated in a series of team-building events over the weekend. These included a quiz, obstacle course and day-long trek on Jabal Akhdar, Oman's second largest mountain.

The event raised 120,000 Omani Rials ($311,000) for Oman's Association of Early Intervention for Children with Special Needs in support of their programme for ‘at risk’ or disabled children from birth to six years old.
