05 Nov 2009

Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre recently saw the official launch of the 25th World Gas Conference (WGC2012) on 5 November 2009. Hosted by Malaysia, WGC2012 is expected to see some 5000 participants attending the event. It will be the first such event to be held in Southeast Asia. The conference will take place in Kuala Lumpur from June 4 to 8 in 2012, a privilege that comes with the Malaysian Presidency of the International Gas Union (IGU) for the 2009-2012 triennium. Newly appointed IGU president as well as current president of Malaysian Gas Association (MGA), Datuk Abdul Rahim Hashim said the conference, held every three years, will mark a major milestone for Malaysia, as it brings the biggest and most influential global gas event for the second time to Asia after Japan hosted it in 2003.
With the theme of "Gas Sustaining Future Global Growth", Datuk Abdul Rahim said WGC2012 will be the platform to share the culmination of three years of work under the Malaysian presidency. The work involves concerted efforts developing strategies to enhance the role of gas, improve its availability and maximise efficiency. "For the first time in IGU's long and illustrious history, a programme focused on youth development as well as science and technology will be incorporated in this event," he said.
Malaysia, driven by the MGA and PETRONAS won the bid for the 2009-2012 IGU Presidency in 2005. Datuk Abdul Rahim said 32 studies on the gas industry will be carried out. "We hope findings from the 32 studies can be presented and discussed along with other working papers at the conference," he said. Malaysia's studies will focus on three issues, namely human capital, nurturing future growth and geopolitics of natural gas.
More than 200 invited guests comprising members and affiliates of the Malaysian Gas Association (MGA), representatives from ASEAN national oil companies, officials from government bodies, hoteliers, bankers, personnel from PETRONAS and PETRONAS group of companies, and the media attended this auspicious occasion.
