REASONS TO ATTEND

WELCOME TO OIL, GAS & PETROCHEMS FINANCE & INVESTMENT 2020

The global oil and gas industry is undergoing a fundamental structural change.  As of January 2020, energy companies account for just 4% of the S&P500.  Output is stable but valuations are depressed.  Oil prices have endured 5 years of volatility and oil and gas companies are increasingly transitioning into fully-integrated energy and renewables companies.  Challenges lie ahead for the sector, and now is the time for industry leaders to present, discuss and debate how the oil, gas and petrochemical companies conduct business and make investments.

The Oil, Gas & Petrochems Finance & Investment Conference is the Middle East’s first and only conference to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing investment and finance executives in the oil and gas sector.  Bringing together representatives from the governments, National Oil Companies (NOCs), International Oil Companies (IOCs), Downstream and Petrochem companies, suppliers to the O&G sector, traders, brokers, advisors, investors and financiers the event is a unique opportunity for senior oil and gas executives to share ideas, network and build business relationships.

• Jason Schenker - Bloomberg News’ #1 Globally Ranked Oil Price Forecaster

• Dr. Mohammed Al-Sabban, Former Senior Advisor to the Minister of Petroleum, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

• Paul Horsnell – Global Head of Commodities Research, Standard Chartered Bank
