WPC Energy
The WPC Energy (formerly World Petroleum Council) (WPC) was founded in 1933 with the task of organizing congresses (WPC Energy Congress formerly World Petroleum Congress). 60 countries, including Germany, are members of the WPC. Germany is one of the founding countries. In addition to organizing the WPC Energy Congress, the WPC offers other events and numerous publications on the subject of oil and gas.
On the website of the WPC there is detailed information about all activities of the WPC: www.wpcenergy.org
Each member country has a national committee whose task is to ensure the financing of the WPC office in London and to support the preparation of the WPC Energy Congress.
In particular, the national committees are responsible for disseminating the Call for Papers and promoting the Congress. The members of the German National Committee (DNK) are executives from the various industrial branches and research institutes.
The WPC Energy Congress differs from pure specialist congresses in that high-ranking personalities from industry and politics are engaged for a demanding plenary program, which gives the congress a high public profile.
It is the most important global platform for the oil and gas industry to address and discuss political and technological trends.
The spectrum covers all important branches of the industry and includes important socio-ecological aspects in addition to economic and technological topics. The WPC Energy has succeeded in becoming the accepted voice of the international oil and gas industry. The German National Committee ensures that German and European economic interests are represented by suitable representatives or speakers.
