The American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, supported by the Hellenic Association for Energy Economics (HAEE), is holding its 1st Oil & Gas Forum on September 7 in Alexandroupoli, northeastern Greece, at the Ramada Plaza Thraki Hotel.
With rising global energy demand, the oil and gas industry in Greece has a wide range of challenges to face and opportunities to seize, the organizers noted, adding that the forum will bring together key policy makers, regulators, top market players, financiers, academics and experts to present and discuss unique insights in and observations on up-to-date topics in the dynamic energy field in Greece and the wider region.

Other confirmed appearances include Serbia’s mining and energy minister Aleksandar Antic and Bulgarian energy minister Temenuzhka Petkova, the organizers announced.
The conference will cover the following areas: global trends in the energy sector and geopolitics; understanding relationships between energy geopolitics and energy markets; the oil & gas potential of Greece, including challenges and perspectives; the role of pricing in the sector’s evolution; the future of oil and gas drillings in Greece; the role of Greece in the global gas and LNG market; new interconnections and terminals; gas pipelines and regional challenges in southeast Europe; energy project financing; and regional alliances and cooperations.
During the conference, diverse thoughts, ideas and best practices will be presented on how Greece could become a major energy hub for Europe and how it can best exploit its geographical advantage and energy resources for achieving this goal, the organizers noted.
