The present oil
crisis, with prices exceeding 50 dollars per barrel,
is inducing the European Union to speed up the
strategic plan that forecasts a huge energy transfer
from Central Asia and Middle East, as well as
North Africa Countries to Europe.
The European Union is looking at the four coastal
countries of the Caspian Sea: Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan,
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, that have proven
to be very rich in energy resources. According
to experts, the area should contain 100 billion
barrels of oil reserves, and part of this energy
will find its market in Europe.
With this scenario, being a natural bridge between
the Producing and Consuming Countries, the role
of "The Mediterranean
as the Key to the Stability of Oil & Gas Markets"
is unquestionable, and the 7th edition of the
Offshore Mediterranean Conference of Ravenna will
focus on the huge projects that are under study
or under way in the Mediterranean.
Attracting a large number of high quality delegates,
exhibitors and visitors the OMC conference will
provide on the Opening Plenary Session on March
16, 2005 a forum for Oil Authorities and Industry
professionals to discuss and debate the current
issue of
"The
Changing Structure of the European Gas Market"
Two and a half
days of parallel technical sessions will follow
in the attempt of providing professionals with
overall information on new technology developments
in the oil and gas field.
Beside the "Papers and Posters Contest"
OMC 2005 will also run the “Best Stands
Contest”. The best papers and stands will
be awarded in the occasion of a Ceremony that
will take place on Friday 18th March 2005.
Finally, OMC 2005 social programme has become
an integral part of the overall event: the 13th
OMC golf tournament on March 15th followed by
the Welcome Buffet, the Gala Dinner on March 16th
and an unforgettable Gala Concert in the most
beautiful Byzantine Basilica of Ravenna on March
17th, will provide entertainment for OMC 2005
participants
Do not miss all this. Join us in Ravenna on March
16-18, 2005.

Angelucci
Chairman OMC 2005
