| The Marsh National Oil Company Conference Marsh Inc., the world's leading risk and insurance services firm, announced it will host the first ever global risk advisory meeting of the world's national oil companies at a conference in Dubai, February 26-28. These state-owned enterprises manage roughly 80 percent of the world's oil supply and are rapidly growing in their importance to the global energy scene. The Marsh National Oil Company Conference will feature speakers from Saudi Aramco, Petrobras, Statoil ASA, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and other organizations. Marsh Chairman and CEO Brian Storms will discuss emerging risk topics in the oil and gas industry to open the conference, which is being attended by senior officials, representatives and delegates from dozens of countries and will operate under the patronage of the Ruler of Dubai. A broad array of topics will be discussed during the two-day event, including knowledge transfer among NOCs, governance, measurement of enterprise-wide risk, and operational challenges tied to cross-border investments. Over the course of two days, the conference will feature both presentations and breakout sessions that address the NOCs' transition from their respective national stages to a global platform. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
