This meeting offers a much-needed platform for top national oil company (NOC) executives and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors to re-evaluate their relationships in an extremely volatile economic environment.

This exercise in focused communication will lead to a better understanding of each other’s viewpoints and expectations on issues of common interest such as:

• Alternative contract models

• Materials and labour pricing

• Shortage of skilled manpower

• Project risk management

• Safety and security during development and construction

• Organisational impact of a rapidly changing contracting environment.
