25th International Exhibition and Conference "CASPIAN OIL AND GAS", Azerbaijan, Baku
In 2018, the Caspian Oil and Gas International Exhibition and Conference, the largest energy event in the Caspian region, celebrated its 25th anniversary. The exhibition was held from May 29 to June 1 at the Baku Expo Center. Over its 25 years of success, Azerbaijan's first specialized exhibition has become a leading industry forum. Every year, Caspian Oil and Gas brings together leading specialists and leaders in the oil industry to showcase cutting-edge technologies in oil and gas production and processing, transportation and logistics, and services.
This year, the Caspian Oil & Gas anniversary coincided with several significant dates, including the 95th anniversary of the birth of national leader Heydar Aliyev, who was at the forefront of the exhibition's founding and inspiration. The first exhibition was held in 1994, in the lead-up to the signing of the "Contract of the Century" in September of that year, which defined the main directions for the large-scale development of the Caspian Basin's hydrocarbon resources and ushered in a new era in the Republic's oil history. This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the independence of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) (1918), and this significant event will be included in the exhibition program.
Caspian Oil & Gas's high status is reinforced by the annual participation of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in the opening ceremony. Throughout its history, Caspian Oil & Gas has been supported by the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR). The exhibition is organized by Iteca Caspian and its partner, ITE Group.
An important part of the exhibition, accompanying its business program, is the international Caspian Oil & Gas conference. Each year, the conference brings together over 500 top managers from leading companies, representatives of industry ministries, and authoritative industry experts, providing an opportunity to exchange views on current issues in the oil and gas industry.
Today, Caspian Oil & Gas is a deserved celebration of Azerbaijan's oil strategy, established by Heydar Aliyev and successfully continued by Ilham Aliyev. The organizers are confident that the exhibition, now 25 years old, will continue to be a showcase for the region's oil sector achievements and a platform for establishing business connections and new prospects for mutual cooperation.
