The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) is set to host the first business conference that will bring together the entire gas and oil strategic value chains.

The event will take place on the first two days of the main exhibition and conference from November 10 to 13, themed ‘Energy for all in a Changing World,’ at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec).

Delegates and industry leaders will share knowledge and experience though a series of panel sessions and presentations, which will explore a range of commercial topics including successful monetisation of new global gas and oil frontiers on the East African continent, Central Asia and Australia, future Indian and Chinese oil demands, Iraq’s potential to be a game changer for global oil production and mature gas field management strategies in the Middle East and further afield.
 
Experts will also debate issues related to the development of a global energy workforce, focussing on topics such as succession planning, employee retention, and creating and increasing in-country value.  

Mohammed A Sahoo Al Suwaidi, director, Gas Directorate-Adnoc and chairman-Adipec 2013, said: “The business conference is a critical new addition to what is the biggest hydrocarbon event in the region."

"With the business landscape for gas and oil undergoing a phase of evolution, the creation of a platform that allows for knowledge transfer between leading industry strategists will enable businesses to stay ahead of the curve and maximise potential opportunities.” - TradeArabia News Service
