NEFTEGAZ 2019
NEFTEGAZ 2019 – the leading industry platform for the Russian oil and gas industries
An interview with Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, Chair- man of the Board of Directors of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH
Question: Mr Dornscheidt, a few weeks ago was the beginning of the registration period for NEFT- EGAZ 2019. What’s your impression of the response from the interna- tional oil and gas industries?
Answer: I trust that we will actu- ally do even better with our exhibi- tors’ and visitors’ numbers than we did at the previous event in 2018. The demand for exhibition space continues to be stable despite dif- cult economic conditions. We can already see that the exhibition will occupy around 32,000 sqm again. This makes us the leading oil and gas trade fair in Russia.
Over the four days of NEFTEGAZ 2018 around 600 well-known exhibitors from 27 nations pre- sented their technical innovations in the extraction of oil and gas. Companies that took part at previ- ous events included major players from Russia such as Gazprom, Tatneft and Transneft, from China (Kerui), Germany (Kanex Krohne) and the United States (Honey- well), to name but a few. The exhibitors were extremely pleased with the event, and some immedi- ately said that they would like to take part in NEFTEGAZ 2019 again. Germany, too, will have its own pavilion again.
What’s the difference between NEFTEGAZ and other Russian industry events? What makes it so attractive for international exhibi- tors and visitors?
