Sovcomflot delegation took part in SAKHALIN OIL & GAS 2009

the 13th Annual Conference & Exhibition

Well over 300 attendees participated in 
The Premier Event for the Oil and Gas Sector in the Russian Far East
which took place from 30th September – 2nd October 2009 in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and was extremely well received by all attendees.
      

In spite of today’s more difficult economic climate, as always, the event provided a high-level platform for both key Government officials and the leading oil and gas operators in Sakhalin to provide detailed project updates, as well as outlining strategic development plans for the future. The comprehensive 3-day agenda offered a balanced range of plenary sessions and interactive discussions, panel debates and special spotlight sessions, not forgetting the extensive networking opportunities provided throughout the event programme.

Attendees consider this event to be the annual meeting-place for the industry – a chance to gather with their peers to debate the latest developments, share experiences, and learn about innovations and best practice for the sector from a 50-strong expert speaker faculty.
