Jump to section

Introduction

BIEE will be running another seminar along similar lines to the successful  Kazakhstan Oil and Gas meeting  held in May last year. This year’s seminar will  focus on the Caspian region as a whole. Participants will be able to hear first hand from a number of prominent industry experts on  the development of oil and gas in the Caspian region, understanding the aspirations, challenges and strategies of the companies working in this region. Some of the topics to be addressed include:

  • Analysis of contemporary issues
  • View from inside of companies operating in the Caspian region
  • Discussion about current trends in oil prices
  • Project engineering, design, procurement in Caspian region

The seminar has been organised around a series of short contributions from the speakers designed to bring out a range of  different issues  and encourage debate. This will be interspersed with plenty of opportunities for questions, discussion and networking during the course of the morning.
