H.E Mr. Bijan Zanganeh, Minister of Petroleum, Islamic Republic of Iran will deliver the key note presentation at Petroleum Conference - Iran 2016 which uniquely has the active engagement of all seven of Iran's major oil, gas and petrochemical associations.

The event will take place 01-03 October at IRIB International Conference Centre, Tehran and will build on the successful launch of the new Iran petroleum contracts (IPC) at the Tehran Summit last November, which was attended by more than 1,700 delegates. This year's programme features a number of high level speakers including:

In addition to the high level speakers, delegate workshops will run concurrently with the content led by a distinguished steering committee made up of industry leaders. Content will reflect the new spirit of cooperation that is required to help meet Iran's petroleum sector ambitions - largely to develop investment, transfer of technology and increase exports through partnership among the Iranian and international industries, in order to achieve Middle East's top ranking country in line with Iran's 1404 (2025) Vision.
Integrated with the event, a world-class exhibition will allow companies to showcase their products and services directly to their target audience and key international pavilions are being organised by the Italian Chamber of Commerce, the South Africa Petroleum Industries Association and the Energy Industries Council (UK).
Paul Gilbert, Event Director, quoted; "Whilst the IPC is widely expected to raise $100 billion in international investment, there are huge projects and investment requiring international products and services throughout the midstream and downstream sectors, the National Petrochemical Company, for example, are talking about 28 major projects requiring $32 billion investment.' Petroleum Conference - Iran 2016 has been designed to provide companies with an invaluable insight into what the projects and commercial opportunities are and to provide knowledge of how to win and develop business in Iran."
