The event will consist of conference and exhibition concurrently as in the previous editions; the conference sessions are going to be organized in the second and third day of the exhibition. The event has quickly grown to become a staple of the oil & gas calendar, both regional and international companies, providing a platform for local companies to assess the products and technologies available to them.

including giants such as Rumalia, Shell, Eni, Linde, Emerson, Petrofac, KBR, Mitsubishi Corp, General Electric, FMC Technologies, China Petroleum Technology & Development Corp, Kuwait Energy and Interpipe.

As well as international and local industry professionals, officials from state companies and ministries (Ministry of Oil and State Company for Oil Projects) will attend the summit. Keynote speakers included senior level managers & industry professionals such as Prof. Dr. Usama Karim (Senior Advisor for the Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq for Energy Affairs), Hans van Nues (Senior Director, Ernst & Young), Dr. Ahmed Breihi (Member of the Board of Directors) and Chris Faulkner (CEO, Breitling Oil and Gas) will put forward their views on their current operations in Iraq. The conference will provide the opportunity for delegates to understand more about the landscape of Iraq’s oil & gas fields, as well as hearing from internationally acclaimed experts.
Expected to attract more than 18,000 visitors, the four-day conference and exhibition will create a platform from government instituitons, national oil and gas companies, private sector, and industry professionals that is essential for potential solutions for the fourth consecutive year. The 4th Basra Oil & Gas International Conference & Exhibition will not higlight through the deals and contracts concluded on site by key buyers and decision makers of Iraq’s oil & gas industry, but it will also by its significance to manufacturers who showcase their latest products, confirm the event’s position as a key promotional tool in the industry diary. Since 2012, being an UFI approved event underlines the event’s international standards and showcases its high quality.
4th Basra Oil & Gas as an exhibition project, contemplating and predicting the need of networking which all industrial bodies require without doubt as per se, tries to step even further by continuously attracting and encouraging international companies to reach Basra and connect with local companies and esteemed officials of the state alike for years to come.
