The Levant Basin Province also holds an estimated 1.7 billion barrels of undiscovered, recoverable oil.

Maersk Oil and Shell are amongst the knowledge event’s international industry partners, and they will exchange views on the outlook for energy with their counterpart, Costas Ioannou Executive Chairman of the Natural Gas Public Company of Cyprus.

A unique feature of this important commemorative forum, which will be produced by TheGulfIntelligence.com, will be a moderated discussion at each table-of-10 between executives from international energy companies and national companies on the forthcoming opportunities, issues and challenges facing the energy industry in the Levant basin.
