Caspian Gas - The Opportunities and Challenges for Europe’s Future Energy Security
| The volumes of gas in the Caspian region are staggering, and combined with its geographic location, it is one of the most important areas for the global gas market; the potential is enormous. The region can secure the future of energy supply, not only domestically and for the European market, but also the Chinese and Indian markets for decades to come. The Caspian Gas Forum will focus heavily on the strategic, commercial, and geopolitical issues related to the selection of gas transportation pipeline routes, particularly in light of developments in major regional gas fields including Shah Deniz fields and the continued development of the gas supply of the Southern Corridor.
| | | Gastech Specialist Events will host the Caspian Gas Forum on the 3 - 5 July 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey. Join us to explore the full lifecycle of exploration and production development and predictions from the region about how the pipeline projects are developing, and how they are interdependent on each other.

| Bringing together government officials, IOCs, NOCs, operators, EPC specialists, local contractors and regional experts, this must-attend event will explore the key areas which will require further commitment and investment, and the significant geopolitics between the major players in the region.
