We're excited to be hosting this event in Bucharest, Romania

Bucharest, Romania’s capital, has a rich history dating back to the 15th century and was once known as the "Little Paris" for its elegant architecture and culture. Over time, it has become a key economic and industrial hub, playing a vital role in Romania’s modernization.

The city is closely linked to Romania’s oil and gas industry, with nearby Ploiești being a historic center for oil production. Romania was among the first countries to produce oil commercially, making its reserves strategically significant in both World Wars. Today, Bucharest remains a hub for energy companies, research, and technological advancements in oil and gas extraction, refining, and well stimulation.
