Leading regional policymakers and sector experts to convene at Chatham House for discussions at the Middle East and North Africa Energy 2018 conference on 29-30 January.
Amidst the climate of uncertainty confronting political and economic leadership in the Middle East and North Africa, energy experts, policy makers and business leaders will convene at Chatham House to discuss the strategic and systemic challenges facing the region.
A persistently low oil price environment, an increasingly competitive global oil market, regional power dynamics, continued security threats, and the need to pursue difficult economic reforms will all be on the agenda.
The main focus of the 2018 Chatham House Middle East and North Africa Energy conference will be the market factors affecting oil and gas supply and demand globally as well as the political developments shaping the region’s long-term economic future.

The continuation of OPEC supply cuts, an increase in US shale oil production and low demand growth from Asian markets are altering strategic relationships and geopolitical power balances across global energy markets. The picture is further complicated by uncertainties prompted by an unpredictable Presidential administration in the US, with a variegated policy strategy towards the MENA region.
In this context, the 2018 Chatham House Middle East and North Africa Energy conference will bring together a range of leading experts including:
· HE Jabar Ali al-Luaibi, Minister of Oil, Republic of Iraq
· Rt Hon Alistair Burt MP, Minister of State for the Middle East, Foreign & Commonwealth Office
· Mustafa Sanalla, Chairman, National Oil Corporation, Libya
· Alan Eyre, Director of the Energy Bureau’s Office of the Middle East and Asia, US Department of State
· Nabil Habayeb, President and CEO, GE Middle East, North Africa & Turkey
· Dr Tatiana Mitrova, Director, Energy Center, SKOLKOVO Business School
· Maria van der Hoeven, Senior Fellow, Clingendael International Energy Programme
This conference is kindly supported by Chevron, Crescent Petroleum and Shell.
