Welcome Letters 2018
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my pleasure to welcome all participants and guests of the 17th North Caspian Regional Exhibition – Global Oil&Gas Atyrau!
This Exhibition & Conference held in the city of Atyrau has become a traditional meeting place for all professionals of the oil and gas industry. This year it will be the 17th time when so many Kazakhstani and international petroleum market players will gather under the auspices of Global Oil&Gas Atyrau. Such events clearly demonstrate numerous achievements within the progressive development of the sector and reflect the worthy competitiveness level of the domestic businesses. Annually, the exhibition is attended by more than 100 companies representing Azerbaijan, Germany, Denmark, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, China, Netherlands, Oman, Poland, Russia, USA, Turkey, Ukraine, Croatia, and Switzerland.
The Atyrau region plays a strategic role in the national economy and its social and economic welfare constitutes an important task. In this regard, I believe that holding this exhibition with the involvement of the key petroleum operators, servicing companies, representatives of the international oil and gas companies and potential investors is of great significance and necessity.
I have no doubt that this event will demonstrate the latest technologies and developments within the oil and gas industry while its most pressing issues and their solutions will be thoroughly analysed through the prism of regional development of the sector.
Let me wish a lot of interesting discussions and rewarding work to all participants, guests and organisers of the Exhibition!
