TOPIC HIGHLIGHTS
INFORMATION DAY
The Black Sea Basin and Eastern Mediterranean are undergoing the most profound transformation of regional oil and petroleum product markets in decades. The reshaping of global trade routes, evolving sanctions regimes, the redistribution of crude oil and refined product flows, the emergence of new logistics corridors, and Türkiye’s growing role as a strategic energy, trading and transit hub are redefining the dregion’s energy landscape.
These developments are creating new commercial opportunities, altering established supply chains, and changing the competitive dynamics across refining, trading, logistics and energy finance.
INFORMAL PART
THE EXECUTIVE RETREAT is designed for professionals who value meaningful discussions, market insight and high-quality networking. Over the past four years, participants have visited some of Türkiye’s most important energy assets, including the SOCAR Aliağa complex (STAR Refinery, Petkim and the oil terminal), the AYGAZ Ambarlı terminal in Istanbul, and the Gebze industrial zone.
