International Oil Summit

The International Oil Summit is a conference organized each year in Paris by the Institut Français du Pétrole (French Petroleum Institute), the consulting firm SPTEC Pétrole & Gas Etudes et Conseil, the energy weekly Pétrostratégies, and the industrial training association ENSPM Formation-Industrie.

The International Oil Summit was first held in October 2000. Since its inception, it has become one of the most important yearly events in this field, facilitating the exchange of ideas and enabling the participants to share their assessments of current international situations and the future of the world oil market.

The often-dramatic events the world has experienced since the beginning of this Century, have had enormous repercussions on the hydrocarbons industry and are expected to continue to affect it in the medium and longer terms.

In addition to several internal factors, source of many uncertainties and risks for the oil market, such as:

supply/demand perspectives,

valorization of this non-renewable resource,

producers-consumers relations,

the green-house effect, etc ;

external factor (terrorism, geopolitical tensions, economic-political-social problems, etc.) have also a major impact on the oil market.

Therefore,

the fluctuation of oil prices,

the dialogue between producing and consuming countries,

the relations between OPEC and non-OPEC countries,

the role of competing energy sources and the environmental constraints,

the long-awaited economic recovery,

are among the questions the eminent speakers are invited to address at the occasion of this conference.
