(openPR) - International oil and gas companies from over 70 countries, together with key Iraqi industry experts, will be gathering in London on 18 -20 June 2012, at the Intercontinental Park Lane, for this year’s CWC Iraq Petroleum Conference.

The two day conference will focus on Iraq’s potential within the industry, presenting opportunities for companies to be involved in the development of oil and gas, and the best model of cooperation with international companies. This year’s agenda will cover the priorities for Iraq in the future; the dynamic world of oil and gas; its infrastructure, the gas and power development in Iraq including the private investment in crude oil refining; and the financial framework for energy investment.

An interactive workshop will follow from the main conference program, focusing on Iraq’s oil and gas business opportunities.
