Country Snapshots

Explore global opportunities at the International Pavilion

Join us for Country Snapshots sessions held in the International Pavilion, a worldwide showcase where NOCs, ministries, and government agencies gather to promote a broad spectrum of investment opportunities – in oil and gas, mineral resources and renewable energies – and to share government strategies for moving toward a low carbon economy.

The International Pavilion also includes a Theatre featuring 20-minute presentations delivered by country representatives.

Attending Country Snapshots sessions and visiting the International Pavilion at the Energy Opportunities Conference gives you the chance to review a host of diverse opportunities and to meet directly with country representatives who know the geology in detail. Expect to come away with heightened insight into current and future global trends.
