Specialised international expo
events to be held in Atyrau on 6-8 April
The main events in April for the oil and gas industry of
Kazakhstan and the Caspian Region are Atyrau Oil & Gas, the 9th
North Caspian Regional Atyrau Oil, Gas and Infrastructure Exhibition,
and OilTech Atyrau, the Atyrau Regional Petroleum Technology Conference.
The events are organised by the Kazakhstani exhibition company Iteca
and its international partners from the UK and Germany.
The Atyrau Oil & Gas exhibition will occupy 2000m² of the
Atyrau Sports Complex, and present about 100 companies from 10
countries: UK, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, China, Lithuania, Russia,
Turkey, Ukraine and France. In addition to the oil and gas companies
KazMunaiGas Exploration Production, Tengizchevroil (TCO) and North
Caspian Operating Company (NCOC), the exhibition will bring together
companies that offer services in the oil and gas industry, oil and gas
equipment, special clothing, environmental protection technology, and
companies engaged in construction and infrastructure.
Given the results of previous events, the organisers have noticed steady
interest in this event, from both exhibitors and visitors. The
participation of Russian companies in the exhibition in 2010 has met,
and is even exceeding, the expectations of the organisers (over 30% of
the total number of exhibitors). Also, the growing potential of the
event is illustrated by the fact that, along with the regular exhibitors
(80%), every year new companies take part in the exhibition.
OilTech Atyrau, the Atyrau Regional Petroleum Technology
Conference, will be held in the Renaissance Atyrau Hotel. About 130
delegates and 20 speakers will take part in the conference. The main
topics of the conference will be: the role of the Atyrau Region in the
political and economic development of Kazakhstan; the strategic
development of exploration and production in Kazakhstan; environmental
initiatives (specific examples); water resources and wastewater
management: solutions and technologies; risk assessment; and oil
transportation and processing technologies. More information on www.oil-gas.kz
