Petro Diplomacy: Challenges to the Energy Transition in the Gulf Countries

For the fifth consecutive year, AGSIW convened its Petro Diplomacy conference, bringing together private and public sector stakeholders to discuss emerging trends in energy markets and regional politics.

October 2, 2019

For the fifth consecutive year, AGSIW convened its Petro Diplomacy conference, bringing together private and public sector stakeholders from the United States and the Gulf Arab countries to discuss emerging trends in energy markets and regional politics.

The world of energy is transforming rapidly and advances in technology are changing the traditional models where oil and gas were the main building blocks. AGSIW leverages its position as a trusted source for analysis on the Gulf Arab states in Washington to provide access to Gulf perspectives on energy markets and politics. In this context, Petro Diplomacy offers a unique forum for industry experts to engage with policymakers and analysts looking closely at how oil and gas producers in the Middle East are preparing for the possibility of a peak in demand for oil, and the region’s geoeconomic and domestic political drivers.

All sessions, except the lunch keynote, were held under the Chatham House Rule.
