Directors and top-managers of leading oil and gas companies from Russia, CIS and other countries will gather in Moscow 15-18th of February 2011 for 6th Annual Conference and Exhibition RUSSIA Offshore 2011.
Russia's offshore oil and gas fields are critical to guaranteeing the security of hydrocarbon supplies in Russia. Russia's Nature Ministry estimates recoverable resources in Russia's Arctic zone at 120 billion barrels of oil and nearly 85 trillion cubic meters of gas. The Barents Sea alone, recently demarcated by Russia and Norway, holds an estimated 7.6 billion metric tons of oil equivalent.
However, the Russian government understands that the development of the deepwater offshore hydrocarbon resources in harsh climate is extremely challenging, if not impossible without the involvement of international skills and capital. Organisers of Russia Offshore meeting is aiming exactly that: to bring together leading players such as Total, Statoil, Gazprom, Shtokman Development, Sakhalin Energy and many others.
'Attracting all the key operators working on the Russian continental shelf, the 6th Annual Russia Offshore Meeting is the definitive event for all companies operating in or looking to form partnerships in Russia's oil and gas offshore industry', says Evnika Polovinkina , Director, Russia and CIS Operations , THE ENERGY EXCHANGE.
