With Iraq’s economy relying heavily on the oil and gas sector, accounting for 90 per cent of government revenues, a strong focus on international relations and staying ahead of demand in the upstream and downstream sectors hold the key to much-needed infrastructure investments and reconstruction projects
In light of new opportunities, multinational experts and local know-how will join forces at Iraq’s most-established and longest-running energy event, the Iraq Petroleum Conference. Organised by CWC, the event will take place on 27–28 June 2019 in London, UK, to discuss:
-The country’s new energy vision and policy
-The global energy transition
-The future of the Iraqi oil and gas industry
-Energy innovation to improve Iraq’s power industry reliability
-The upcoming megaprojects
-Environmental challenges
-Project finance and more
