Unveiling Vietnam's Untapped Energy Potential - Experts to Share New Strategies and Implications at 13th VOGP (Vietnam Oil, Gas and Power).

Hanoi, Vietnam. September 15, 2010-- The massive untapped potential of Vietnam is only beginning to be realized as limited reserves and increased demand have prompted the development of new strategies to quench the nation's thirst for energy. As involvement levels deepen, the 13th VOGP (Vietnam Oil, Gas and Power) conference will gather experts in Hanoi on 28-29 October to analyze the latest evolutions in the explorations & production activities, downstream developments, as well as power sector reforms.

As the local Government introduced recent initiatives to promote a more diverse energy mix from bio-fuel to nuclear, there has been a positive reaction from the power sector. Major industry players are increasing their activities in the country with the corresponding increased realization of the yet to be explored energy ability of Vietnam.

In the oil & gas front, Vietnam is striving to meet energy security by exploiting new reserves and field developments. Blocks availability in North Vietnam and prospects of deepwater exploration could lead to more opportunities for investments in the upstream sector. The 13th VOGP (Vietnam Oil, Gas and Power) in Hanoi will be a timely platform for many of the top senior management speakers to share their experiences and insights with those keen to learn more about the changes enveloping Vietnam.

In store for attendees will be key panelists such as PetroVietnam Exploration & Production (PVEP) sharing on "Unlocking the Offshore Potential in Vietnam," Salamander Energy discussing their exploration success in North Vietnam and DNV presenting on "Commercial Aspects of Deepwater Drilling & Potential for Vietnam."

Another highlight at the conference will be Mr. Torbjorn Elliot Kirkeby-Garstad, Vice President - Business Development & Operations (SEA) of SN Power Holding Singapore Pte. Ltd. (Statkraft Norfund Power) presenting on "Opportunities in renewable energy in Vietnam and creating the optimal investment climate." Touching on key investment criteria, current roadblocks, and market outlook, he will be providing one of the foremost views on what investors can expect in Vietnam's sustainable renewable energy future.

The 13th VOGP conference will additionally offer an evening drinks reception for delegates to meet peers in an informed setting. Attendees can expect to interact with industry leaders in the energy sector and gain ideas on how to take advantage of developments in Vietnam arising from other key issues to be addressed:

"State of the Retail Business - Moving Towards a Deregulated Environment" by Mr. Bui Ngoc Bao, Chairman & President, PETROLIMEX
