Trans Adriatic-pipeline project to be discussed at the 2nd Balkans Oil & Gas Summit
Athens, Greece (PRWEB UK) 3 July 2013 -- Given the fact that Balkans is an under-explored region when coming to natural resources, Azerbaijan’s decision to proceed with the Trans Adriatic-pipeline project for its future gas exports will cause significant changes to the economy of the region. Albania, Greece and Italy signed an agreement in February that provides them with full political backing in relation to the TAP project. This project is anticipated to drive a major increase in investments and lead to a direct creation of thousands of jobs that will in turn boost the competitiveness to each of their recessing economies.
The 2nd Annual Balkans Oil & Gas Summit, taking place on 24th-25th September in Athens, will address the Trans-Adriatic pipeline project, including its history as a project that has been in discussion for more than a decade, developments it’s going to bring to regional and European markets, and opportunities for diversification of gas imports.
The Summit will welcome the new Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Change in Greece, Giannis Maniatis, along with the Assistant Minister of Economy in Croatia, Alen Leveric, the Deputy Minister for Mining and Geological Research, Ministry of Economy in Montenegro, Vladan Dubljevic, and the Federal Minister of Energy, Mining & Industry in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Erdal Trhulj. There will also be a host of international and national oil and gas companies such as Repsol, San Leon energy, Hellenic Petroleum S.A., Bankers Petroleum, DEPA Greece, INA-Industrija Nafte d.d., Croatia, DESFA S.A and Stream Oil & Gas, Canada & Albania.
