2nd Regional Meeting - Qatar

There has been interest among some national committees in sponsoring WPC regional meetings which focus on exchanging world petroleum perspectives and highlighting petroleum developments in their particular regions of the world. The particular National Committee proposing the meeting has taken responsibility for the promotion of the meeting and accommodating costs.

The first such meeting was proposed by China, approved by the WPC and held in Shanghai, September 17th-20th, 2001. The Shanghai meeting drew 489 people from 38 countries, mainly in Asia, although 606 had registered. This was a substantial achievement as the meeting followed shortly after the September 11th tragedy in New York.
