As consumers around the world seek greener, cleaner and more efficient fuels, natural gas will play a bigger role in the global energy mix, according to a recent study by the International Association for Natural Gas (CEDIGAZ).

This surge in demand will be a key topic at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, ADIPEC, as companies continue to look at reducing carbon emissions and collaborate on a host of new gas projects across the world.

Unconventional gas reserves are set to play a key role, accounting for 71 per cent of supply growth by 2035, rising from 699 bcm in 2014 to 1,587 bcm. With this in mind, natural gas will remain a hot topic in the hydrocarbon sector for years to come.

Through ADIPEC's innovative series of Global Business Leader Sessions, Global Downstream Business Leader Sessions, Offshore Business Leader Sessions, Technical and Panel Sessions, as well as C-Suite Dialogues and Middle East Petroleum Club VIP Programme briefings, the world’s premium gas providers have a chance to meet. They can unveil cutting-edge technologies, share best practices and find partners for their globally integrated upstream and downstream gas activities.

Participants will engage with industry peers and gain insights into the latest gas industry challenges and trends, avail a great opportunity to network and share experiences with fellow gas professionals, gain cutting-edge information about the latest products and services, and meet like-minded professionals to become part of the global gas network.
