The importance of the supply of Caspian energy resources to Europe

Tolga Cheltekligil, Country Director, Metso (Turkey)

-The traditional Caspian Oil and Gas Conference brings together a lot of delegates from different countries, therefore it is considered to be one of the most important events in the region. This year, Caspian Oil and Gas has also gathered a large number of participants, which in itself is a positive factor. I want to emphasize that, in this year's conference, there are a lot of participants from the EU, including those from Eastern Europe, particularly Slovakia and Bulgaria. I believe that such a solid audience has been attracted by the important issue of the supply of Caspian energy resources to Europe.

As it would appear to me, among the main issues discussed at the conference, top priority is given to political strategy in the petroleum sector. As it has already been noted by speakers at the conference, today, the issues of energy supply and satisfaction of needs in the supply of energy resources are ever more important.

The roll-call (head count) of the countries that offer various energy supply routes to Europe will be an important issue in the framework of the conference. In particular, the Turkish route, TANAP and other supply channels are essentially the competing projects in the diversification of energy supplies to the EU.
