With the speakerss and presenters at this Conference being top drawer it is showing potentially that Turkey are throwing everything into this public relations event in harmony with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The significant opening presentation is by a particularly powerful individual in terms of influence on the world’s energy scene (Chief Economist at the International Energy Agency) - Dr Fatih Birol who is also Turkish; he is representing the major world nations to highlight the strategic importance of the KRG and Iraq’s oil reserves. (recently updated in Forbes) There is an interactive platform chaired by the managing partner of one of Turkey’s largest global law firms specialising in Oil and Gas, then you also have the Head of Pipelines in turkey alongside GKP’s very own Todd Kozel.

With the most important people in the region all opening this two day conference and the conference results and evaluation finishing up on joint KRG / Turkey project plans – it is clearly indicating that they are preparing to get the oil to market by showing the relationship between Turkey and the KRG has been well planned and the public appearances, the detail of the content and the synergy is no coincidence. With Todd Kozel being on the Interactive Panel we can only hazard a guess that the GKP Shaikan asset will be a major component in their plans to get the ball rolling.
