Director General of the World Petroleum Congress, Dr. Pierce Riemer, congratulated Saudi Arabia for being selected to host the 25th edition of the congress in Riyadh, as well for being the biggest oil-exporting country in the world and owning one of the world’s biggest oil reserves.
Riemer said that this highlights Saudi Arabia’s importance globally, as well as its worthiness to host one of the most important meetings of energy in the world.
The triennial World Petroleum Congress is widely known as the “Olympics” of the petroleum industry and covers all aspects of the industry from technological advances in upstream and downstream operations to the role of natural gas and renewables, management of the industry and its social, economic and environmental impact. The World Petroleum Congress has an accompanying exhibition as well.
In addition, outside stakeholders such as governments, other industry sectors, NGOs and international institutions have also joined in the dialogue.
