Iraq Conference : Chevron confirmed as key sponsor of Iraq Oil, Gas, Petrochemical and Electricity Summit

April 15, 2007

The summit has been organized to bring together key Iraq Government decision makers in the energy sector and international operators seeking partnership opportunities in both the upstream and downstream industry. 

The summit will welcome representation from the Iraqi Ministries of Oil, Industry and Minerals and Electricity, as well as the Iraq Energy Council, Investment Promotion Agency and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Ministries for Natural Resources, Industry and Electricity. It will also host many of the state companies operating under the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and senior representatives from the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO). 

This historic landmark event will be the first of its kind for the most important sectors of the Iraqi economy, according to the recent announcement.

"With the world's second largest proven oil reserves, Iraq is well positioned to be a major contributor to global energy markets. International companies have the unique opportunity to help Iraq rebuild and develop its energy resources for the benefit of the Iraqi people. With the recent developments around a national hydrocarbon law, the timing of the summit could not be better."
