Experts from the Iraqi oil and gas sector gathered in Amman, Jordan on 21-22 August to take part in Iraq Oil & Gas – Amman, a special meeting involving senior figures from the Iraqi oil industry and major global corporations operating within the sector, organised by Iraq Procurement. |

| A special Q&A session took place on the opening day |

The meeting provided a number of opportunities for specially selected companies involved in the rebuilding process in Iraq. The main objectives behind the meeting were to inform attendees of the immediate needs of the oil sector, the current direction of investment and the services and expertise needed to improve it. Issues also considered included future cooperation between the oil ministry and major oil corporations and the possibility of holding future meetings in Iraq.
A special Questions & Answers forum was held on the opening morning, with representation from across the globe, during which the oil delegation addressed a number of key issues. |
The forum was followed by a series of private meetings organised between the delegation and the companies in attendance, held with the key aim of abrogating the role of third party mediators. Other discussions included the issue of sub-contracting and the importance of training to the development of the sector. |
"This event was essential for direct communications with the ministry and relationship building," said a spokesman for Pratt & Whitney, who attended the forum.
The success of Iraq Oil & Gas – Amman demonstrates the full support of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the sector as a whole, which will form a key part of the negotiations to take place at Iraq Procurement – ‘Meet the Buyers’ in Amman, Jordan, the second in a series of high profile events that look to realise the trade and investment potential of Iraq. The first of these events was held in London in April, and was deemed a great success.
The event will be organised with the assistance of Petra Travel & Tourism, the official event organisers. |
