INC Global Conferences Pte Ltd will hold another energy-related conference entitled “China Oil, Gas & Pipeline 2008: Projects & Markets”. This event will take place on 25 – 26 February at the Beijing Marriott Hotel West, China.
China's economic boom has sharply increased its need for imported oil and gas leading to much controversy and diplomatic strains as Beijing builds closer ties with Sudan and Iran that are considered by many as rogue oil-rich states. China is second only to the United States in terms of being the world’s largest oil import. It is forecasted that by 2020, China will consume 34 per cent of world coal and 14 per cent of oil. Demand for natural gas continues to surge and is expected to reach 130 billion cubic meters by 2010. To support the tremendous economic growth, plans have also been made to add another 25,000 kilometers of oil and gas pipelines by 2010.
Prominent industry experts have been invited to share their insights - Nexant (Thailand) Limited, PetroChina, SINOPEC, Arakan Oil & Gas Research Team, Minter Ellisons Lawyers, OMCS International Australia, China’s National Development & Reform Commission, Indian Oil Corporation, China Clean Energy Inc and many more
The speakers and delegates from various sectors of this industry will discuss on the government’s plan to support this need, its future plans as well as the various challenges and opportunities available for international and local players.
