For instance, the ambitious Hydrocarbon Vision 2025 and New Exploration Licensing Policy announcements came out during the earlier PETROTECH editions,” added Mr. Sarthak Behuria, Chairman, IndianOil & Chairman of the Steering Committee of PETROTECH-2009, while addressing the gathering. During the meeting, the details of actions taken so far were apprised by Mr. V C Agrawal, Director (HR), IndianOil & Chairman of the Organising Committee of PETROTECH-2009.
The PETROTECH series of International Oil & Gas Conferences and Exhibitions started in 1995 as a platform for the global hydrocarbon industry to deliberate and exchange ideas on petroleum economics, security, sustainability and environmental concerns, emerging technologies, processes, etc., and chart new directions for the industry.
As the prime showcase of India's hydrocarbon sector, this coveted international event attracts delegates from across the world, including scientists, engineers, technocrats, Government officials, environmentalists and entrepreneurs.
Now in its 8th edition, the PETROTECH International Oil & Gas Conference and Exhibition has steadily grown in stature to become a must-attend for those in the hydrocarbon industry the world over. Over 4,000 delegates and 140 exhibitors from nearly 60 countries participated in the 2007 edition. This included ministerial delegations and premier oil & gas companies from abroad.
