The 32nd Annual Middle East Petroleum & Gas Conference (MPGC 2025), organized by S&P Global Commodity Insights and hosted by Bapco Energies, is set to take place in the Kingdom of Bahrain from May 26-28.
The event, held in the presence of Dr. Mohamed bin Mubarak Bin Daina, Minister of Oil and Environment and Special Envoy for Climate Affairs, seeks to facilitate critical dialogue regarding the region's energy landscape in the context of escalating global demand for sustainable solutions.
MPGC 2025 will feature a distinguished lineup of industry leaders and experts who will engage in discussions around the theme of 'Balancing Traditional and Renewable Energy in the Middle East.' The conference will serve as a vital platform for exploring global market dynamics and the future trajectory of energy.
The inaugural day (May 27) will commence with keynote addresses from Mark Eramo, Co-President of S&P Global Commodity Insights and Mark Thomas, Group CEO of Bapco Energies, with Dr. Mohamed bin Mubarak Bin Daina in attendance. The agenda will encompass topics such as navigating the energy frontier, geopolitical influences on markets, and an in-depth examination of global oil and gas dynamics.
On the second day (May 28), the focus will transition to downstream perspectives and low-carbon energy sources. Attendees can expect presentations and discussions addressing refining outlooks, transportation fuels, sustainable aviation fuel, and the integration of gas with solar and nuclear energy, alongside the pivotal influences of carbon markets.
'MPGC 2025 represents a crucial platform for industry stakeholders to convene and explore the complexities of the energy landscape, fostering collaboration and innovation towards a sustainable future. We look forward to welcoming attendees to this important event, which underscores the significant role the Middle East plays in shaping the global energy landscape,' said Lyn Tattum, Vice President and Head of Events at S&P Global Commodity Insights.
