The Iraq Development Program has been advised following consultation with senior officials from the Iraqi Government, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the US Embassy Baghdad to reschedule the Iraq Oil, Gas, Petrochemical & Electricity Summit for 2-4 September 2007. This has come about as a result of ongoing negotiations concerning Iraq’s proposed new hydrocarbon law.
Expectations were that the hydrocarbon law would be in place for the scheduled date, but it has now become clear that the law will take a few more weeks to be passed and that the interests of attending companies and the Iraq Development Program will be best served by ensuring that the event has the strongest and most unified Iraqi support.
Accordingly, it is agreed that 2-4 September will be the best time for the international energy community to gather and discuss hydrocarbon activities within Iraq. The summit will still be taking place at in Dubai, which remains an outstanding venue for the summit.
All confirmed delegates will have their registration forwarded to the rescheduled summit date. Any company or individual who has booked hotel rooms through the Iraq Development Program should cancel their reservation at the latest 72 hours before their scheduled arrival time and no costs will be incurred.
The Iraq Development Program apologises for any inconvenience caused and maintains its commitment to serve the best interests of its delegates in making sure it delivers the strongest possible event for Iraq’s energy sector.
