“We are pleased that Doha will be hosting the 20th World Petroleum Congress in 2011. It is long overdue that the Congress should be held in the region where the majority of the world’s petroleum resources are based. With the strong commitment and support from the government of Qatar, we look forward to a truly historic event for the petroleum industry in 2011.” - Dr. Randall G. Gossen, President of the World Petroleum Council, congratulating Qatar on its selection as host of the 2011 event

Energy Solutions for All
Promoting Cooperation, Innovation and Investment

The 20th World Petroleum Congress will focus the debate on solutions aimed at providing global access for all to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy in both the near and long term future.

To achieve these goals, producers, consumers, governments and social representatives need to work in close cooperation to develop innovative ways to find and develop new oil, gas and alternative energy resources, as well as to set higher standards for wiser, more efficient and cleaner energy consumption.
