dmg :: events, BG Group and Energy Market Authority (EMA) Bring the International Gas Community to Singapore in 2015

One of the world’s largest and most prestigious LNG and natural gas conferences and exhibitions, Gastech, is coming to Singapore in 2015.

Singapore, United Kingdom, May 18, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The build-up started on Thursday 15 May, with a launch event hosted by dmg :: events, BG Group and the Energy Market Authority. The launch attracted over 200 VIPs and stakeholders from the gas industry including representatives from Chevron, Eon, the High Commission of Canada, Pavilion Energy, Singapore LNG Corporation, UK Trade & Investment, IE Singapore, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Shell, Government of Western Australia, Keppel Energy, Gazprom Marketing & Trading, and many more.

Addressing the press launch Matthew Meredith, Executive Vice President for dmg :: events (UK) Ltd, the organisers for Gastech said, “We are proud to be bringing Gastech 2015 to Singapore in October next year. After a successful partnership in London in 2012, we are pleased to be working once again with BG Group on what is already shaping up to be our biggest Gastech so far – 75% of the exhibit space has already been reserved.”

As Singapore celebrates its 50 year anniversary, it seeks to play an increasingly important role in the Asian gas industry, and with BG Group’s close affiliation with the region, Gastech 2015 arrives in Singapore at a pivotal time for the industry.

“As Singapore’s exclusive supplier and aggregator of LNG of up to 3 million tonnes per annum, BG Group is delighted to be hosting the Gastech Conference and Exhibition here in 2015. The long-term importance of Asia’s gas markets was one of the reasons why BG Group recently moved the centre of our Global LNG and oil marketing business to Singapore, so it is particularly fitting that one of the most important LNG conferences in the world should take place here next year.

“We look forward to welcoming all of the industry’s key players to Gastech in October 2015 and participating in some interesting discussions and debates on the future of the global and regional LNG market,” said Anthony Barker, General Manager for BG Gas Marketing Singapore who will play host to the 2015 event.

Jonathan Goh, Director (External Relations) for the EMA, organisers of the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW), said, “We are pleased Gastech will be held in association with SIEW 2015. As one of the leading gas events in the industry, it complements SIEW’s line up of existing programmes which range from upstream oil & gas, renewable energy, technology and financing. The 8th annual SIEW 2015 will continue to bring together the world’s leading events from across the energy spectrum and participants will have the opportunity to build connections, exchange ideas and discuss energy issues, strategies and solutions.”

Held every 18 months Gastech brings together the international gas community to discuss the key commercial and technical issues affecting the industry. The event attracts over 20,000 international visitors, 2,000 conference delegates, 500 international, regional and local exhibitors and is firmly established as one the world’s leading LNG and natural gas events.
