Aspiring to establish itself amongst the dynamic and competitive international market, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Council on Petroleum (ASCOPE) engages in the petroleum and petroleum-related industries to promote the creation of synergistic business opportunities.
Since its establishment in 1975, the Council has successfully accomplished its objectives. It has promoted a policy, legal and regulatory framework; undertaken joint techno-economics studies; developed a knowledge management system for information exchange; promoted and shared researchersʼ works; and, is undertaking value-adding activities in oil and gas development.
This year, as a member of the ASCOPE family and based in a country which strongly believes in the oil and gas industry, Petrovietnam will host the tenth ASCOPE Conference and Exhibition with the theme “˜Innovation and co-operation – the way forward’ in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 28-30 November 2013.
It is important that the industry works together at a time when it must take into account new components such as new oil field discoveries, environmental protection, the changing and competitive global market, and deploying state-of-the-art equipment and techniques.
During the ASCOPE event, the current oil and gas issues faced across the ASEAN markets will be discussed, in addition to ASCOPE’s upcoming plan. A Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Summit featuring the ten ASEAN National Oil Companies’ CEOs will also be organised to discuss the issues and challenges moving forward to implement the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint.
The ASCOPE Conference and Exhibition will provide delegates with various opportunities to network with key members of the regional oil and gas industry, as well as with thought-provoking ideas to take away.
