The 10th ASEAN Council on Petroleum (ASCOPE) Conference & Exhibition will be held for the first time in Ho Chi Minh City from November 28-30, 2013.
The event, themed “Fuelling the Future of ASEAN towards Sustainable Development”, is expected to attract 500 delegates and more than 300 stalls
Do Van Hau, General Director of the
National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), said in a press conference in Hanoi on July 18 that
ASCOPE is a good opportunity for oil and gas companies in the ASEAN region to
advertise their products and investigate prospects for new partnerships.
As well as the 10 member countries of ASCOPE, the conference will see the participation of many other international oil and gas companies, particularly those from the Middle East, he noted.
During ASCOPE 2012, the latest information on the opportunities, challenges and solutions in the oil and gas industry in the ASEAN region will be outlined. Along with participation by leading international experts, the event will bring the latest technology information for engineers working in Southeast Asia.
ASCOPE is organized every four years and the 9th event took place in Thailand.
The council, which includes national oil companies from around the ASEAN region, was established in 1975. Its main objective is to support member countries to increase their capabilities through mutual assistance in the petroleum industry.
