Since its launch, KIOGE has constantly followed its fundamental principles: giving the maximum possible reflection of oil and gas industry trends; focusing on new features, materials and products; maintaining its international status; and improving its information component with special events and round tables.

The two-day KIOGE 2013 conference, again taking place at the InterContinental Almaty hotel, opens on 2 October. Its programme consists of eight sessions with presentations from 50 speakers.

 

The first day of the conference will cover future development of the key oil fields of Kazakhstan, plans for development of shale deposits, the use of innovative solutions in oil exploration and development, and using new technologies to optimise oil transportation.

 

The second day will open with a session dedicated to local content issues. Speakers will talk about the benefits and legal requirements of local content and review opportunities for technology transfer. Legal professionals presented in this session will discuss resolving tax disputes and financing of the oil sector. The next session will examine issues on improving industrial safety and environmental protection, limiting harmful emissions, and technologies for offshore development and establishment of infrastructure.  

 

The conference will close with the Oil Production and Petrochemical Industry session, which includes issues of innovative approaches in refining and petrochemicals, rebuilding key refineries and using new technologies.
