THE 21st NORTH CASPIAN REGIONAL ATYRAU OIL&GAS EXHIBITION AND THE NORTH CASPIAN REGIONAL CONSTRUCTION EXHIBITION - ATYRAUBUILD COMPLETED IN ATYRAU.

For more than 20 years of its existence, Atyrau Oil&Gas exhibition has become the central meeting place for oil and gas industry specialists, providing a key platform for communication between representatives of government officials and leading market players. Traditionally, new ways for partnership projects in the areas of oil and gas exploration and production, industrial equipment production and infrastructure development were presented at the site. The exhibition served as a significant event for the oil and gas industry of Kazakhstan, presenting the latest trends in the development of the oil and gas and construction industries in the region, as well as the latest technologies and equipment.

Products manufactured by the participants themselves and supplied by official distributors were presented by 102 companies from various countries, including Finland, Austria, Azerbaijan, Germany, Kazakhstan, China, Russia and Turkey. The exhibition also included collective expositions organized by the Export Support Center of the Perm region and the Development Corporation of the Udmurt Republic of the Russian Federation.

The overall increase in the number of companies participating in the exhibition was 20% compared to last year. The growth in the number of participants also reflects the global trend of increasing demand for energy resources and the search for new, more efficient and environmentally friendly ways to extract and use them. The significant increase in debutants (over 40% of the total) also highlights the growing interest in the exhibition and its role as a key platform for interaction between representatives of the oil and gas industry. Most of them have already positively assessed participation in exhibitions as a necessary investment for their further growth.

- This is our first time taking part in this exhibition. We have very high expectations and are very pleased with the number of visitors. The purpose of our participation is to show large companies in the region our local production, and that it is very profitable to work with us, thanks to savings on logistics. Thank you for organizing this exhibition, said Dilnaz Akmaliyeva, the manager of Erreesse Caspian Valves.

Representatives of Machinist company from Finland also made their debut in 2024. During the three days of the exposition, the first agreements on cooperation in Kazakhstan were reached; the participation brought good results, according to the participants.

- We came to Atyrau for an Oil and Gas exhibition in order to get acquainted with the local market. We would like to assess how our technology can be useful here. There are some successes: yesterday there was a meeting with customers from Karaganda, where construction of a large industrial facility is planned. Today there will be another meeting with another potential customer. We have prepared a favourable offer, we really hope that it will be interesting, and we will be able to make a deal while being here at the exhibition”, said Vladimir Volkov, a representative of the Machinist company.

Many companies from the CIS countries took part in the exhibition in order to find distributors in the western cities of Kazakhstan.

It is worth noting that many visitors, after analyzing and monitoring the participants of the Atyrau Oil&Gas exhibition, decide to become participants in the next exposition, as they see opportunities for the development and expansion of their business, and perceive the exhibition as an effective site for promoting their goods and services.

- The exhibition is very interesting from the point of view of studying the market, participants and visitors. In general, such events are necessary to show potential customers the products, materials, goods. I believe that the exhibition is one of the most important marketing tools for promoting oil and gas companies, said Zhandos Mukhambetov, a guest from Almaty.

The organizers of such exhibitions, however, as well as their participants, are confident that every year in Kazakhstan the number of joint ventures with countries near and far abroad that are interested in the Kazakhstan market will grow. As part of the business program of the exhibition, 13 dialogue platforms were organized on current topics in the development of the country’s oil and gas sector.

The rich program was provided by dozens of speakers from among government officials, expert practitioners, and representatives of major industry associations and unions. During the seminars, industry experts from companies such as Tengizchevroil, Caspian Pipeline Consortium, EnergoInnovatsiya Association of Innovative Enterprises in the Energy Sector, National Institute for Development in the Field of Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency JSC and others shared their experience.

It should be noted that a new feature of the exhibitions was the launch of the innovative mobile application - ITECA.EVENTS.
