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!

The Atyrau region possesses the majority of the hydrocarbon reserves of the Republic. It is home to giant active oilfields such as Tengiz and Kashagan and this is where most of the industry stakeholders concentrate their operational activities. Every year, confirming its reputation as the oil and gas capital of the country, the city of Atyrau welcomes over 100 companies from 16 countries worldwide who come to take part in the annual specialised sectoral forum. The exhibition is attended by numerous manufacturers of oil and gas equipment, representatives of the public-sector authorities, national companies, key players and scientific and research institutes.

Being the owner of several aging oilfields, the National Company KazMunayGas considers that it is particularly important for all partners of the industry to regularly share knowledge and study practical experience of utilising modern technologies.  We are closely following all the innovations which are becoming available, we then evaluate and introduce those of them which can enhance extraction activities at our deposits.

It is certainly important that the Global Oil&Gas Atyrau Exhibition aids improved communications between the public and the private sectors, in particular the manufacturing of equipment and further development of the sector infrastructure. As a catalyst for the more effective business relations, this high-profile Oil & Gas forum actively contributes to creating the perfect environment for cooperation into the petroleum industry.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, our most esteemed colleagues,

On behalf of the Kazakhstan Association of Oil, Gas and Energy sector organisations - KAZENERGY, I am delighted to welcome all participants of the 17th Northern Caspian Regional Exhibition - Atyrau Oil & Gas.

Today, the field-specific exhibition Atyrau Oil & Gas has secured its status of the critically important event which traditionally takes place in the oil capital of our country – the city of Atyrau.

For 17 consecutive years, this regional occasion has been bringing together professionals of the oil and gas industry, providing numerous opportunities to expand their business geography and find strategic partners. The significance and success of the event is clearly demonstrated by the number of the exponents and participants which grows with every year.

Today, as we know, the oil and gas industry is in a transitional period of development which can be explained by several global challenges: volatility of the fuel markets, major changes in the overall technological mode and other important factors.

I have no doubt that active cooperation of all members within the oil and gas industry and presentation of the performance results in various spheres will give a new impetus to the growth of the sector.

Let me wish productive work, success and all the best to the participants of the Exhibition.
