20th World Petroleum Congress

Events Details

Date: Dec 04, 2011 to Dec 08, 2011
Venue: Doha Exhibition Center

Every three years the World Petroleum Congress is held in one of the over 60 member countries of the World Petroleum Council. In 2011, Qatar will be the first country to host the congress in the Middle East.

Over the course of the conference's five days, more than 4,000 delegates, 600 media groups and 550 presenters will participate in a program that covers all aspects of the industry -- from technological advances in upstream and downstream operations, to the role of natural gas, renewable and complementary energy, the management of the industry and its social, economic and environmental impact.

Known as the "Olympics of the Oil and Gas Industry," the World Petroleum Congress is attended by a global oil and gas audience and other stakeholders such as governments, other industry sectors, NGOs and international institutions.

The World Petroleum Exhibition, held alongside the congress, and in the same venue, features exhibits from the national committees of the World Petroleum Council, which include the most prestigious national oil and gas companies and agencies of the world. It also showcases the most important international oil and gas companies alongside key suppliers, service companies and manufacturers.
