South East Europe (SEE) is a central transit hub for energy supplies to Central and Western Europe. It also relies heavily on imported oil and gas making it an important centre of geopolitical importance for this industry.

Following problems in the past few years facing security of supply, it has proven to be a significant time for Europe to review current Oil and Gas strategies. With an abundance of the world’s oil and gas reserves in Russia and the Middle East there is a demand from Europe who relies heavily on fossil fuels to connect to these markets and secure these valuable connections.

As the main link between the supplying countries and the rest of Europe, it is critical to understand the issues of supplying oil and gas to SEE and the current action being taken to find multiple routes and security of supplies. It is important for those who are driving this agenda to connect with other key players in the market in order to reach these important goals.

SEE Oil & Gas 2010 will inform all concerned with obstacles facing a cohesive supply system and it will connect major contributors including policy makers, regulators, energy traders, oil and gas companies, investors, legal advisors and consultants. It has been strategically organised to take place in Istanbul the European Capital of Culture 2010.

With almost 90% of Turkey’s oil and gas supplies being imported, it is an essential market vying for new supply sources as well as routes to European destinations. It is a centre for energy exchange and this event will focus on the opportunities available for this market. Join SEE Oil & Gas 2010 to find the key to further involvement in this market.
