Global
Summits organiser, IRN is delighted to announce that the 4th Balkans
Oil & Gas Summit will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
This
year’s event, originally to be held in Athens, Greece, will now be hosted in
Dubrovnik, Croatia with the full support of the Croatian Ministry of Economy
and the Croatian Hydrocarbon Agency to bring to the Summit’s delegation a
highly valuable Balkans Summit on 23rd-25th September
2015.
The
4th Balkans Oil & Gas Summit will also be held under the
endorsement of the Ministry of Energy and Industry of Albania, the Ministry of
Economy of Montenegro and the Federal Ministry of Energy, Mining and Industry of
Bosnia-Herzegovina with Government Officials joining from all over the Balkans
region.
Croatia
has been attending and supporting the senior level meeting since its
origination in 2012. Here’s what Alen Leveric, Deputy Minister of Economy said
about the Balkans Oil & Gas Summit: “Since
2012, we had the unique opportunity to annually report and promote all
development stages of one of the most important Croatian strategic projects –
exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons (onshore and offshore).
In June 2015, Croatian government published that
three companies (Vermilion Zagreb Exploration, INA and Oando PLC) will share
six licences to explore for oil and gas in Croatia’s northern Drava river basin
and in the east of the country.
In January 2015, Croatia awarded 10 offshore oil and
gas exploration licences for drilling in the Adriatic. Seven licences went to a
consortium of Marathon Oil and OMV, two to INA and one to a consortium of ENI
and Medoilgas.
With this in mind, Croatia is definitely on their way
of becoming an energy leader in the south-eastern Europe.”
Alen Leveric, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Economy, Croatia.
Many
international and national oil companies have already confirmed their
participation in the Summit with the organisers expecting the attendance of 200
senior level executives.
More

Shale Gas & CBM & Tight Gas ploration Activities to Uncover the Huge
Reserves Potential Dear,
The long-awaited
and heavily-debated Regulations for Petroleum Exploration and Production were
enacted on 3 June 2015. The Minister of Mineral Resources is
expected to take a decision on pending Karoo exploration right applications in
the coming months.
Some changes with the draft regulation:
♦ Water monitoring has
been refined. The applicant or holder is now required to appoint an
independent specialist to conduct a hydrocensus which indicates potentially
affected water resources.
♦ The draft regulations
provided that the census had to be conducted on at least, a one kilometers
radius from the furthest point of potential horizontal drilling. The promulgated
regulations extended the radius to three kilometres.
