Global Exploration & Production
For the first time APPEX Regional
will be joining the annual AAPG
International Conference and
Exhibition (ICE).
APPEX is an exploration themed
conference and exhibition, specifically
dedicated to the E&P sector.
A series of highly regarded Global
Acquisition and Divestment (A&D)
events organized by the AAPG,
APPEX brings together upstream
E&P principals, senior managers,
business developers and new
venture managers for an unmatched
opportunity to network and do
business with NOCs, Governments,
financiers and global E&P deal-
makers and decision-makers.
Whether you are looking to buy, sell
or farm out E&P deals, expand into
new areas, find new partners, meet
other industry movers and shakers,
or just stay on top of the industry,
APPEX is the place to be. Attendees
can explore current and future trends
in international business, new oil
and gas hotspots, and discover
and debate dozens of upcoming
prospects from countries including:
Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-
Herzegovinia, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Iran,
Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgystan,
Lebanon, Macedonia, Mongolia,
Montenegro, Romania, Russia,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkey,
Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan,
plus some Mediterranean Countries
(Cyprus, Italy, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya,
Egypt, Jordan).
All this takes place in a relaxed,
friendly environment that has been
carefully designed for maximum
networking, allowing attendees to
buy sell and trade prospects and
properties, find new strategic partners
and clients, and stay one step ahead
of the competition.

“ We needed to get the senior
decision makers from the biggest
companies in the business to view
our farm out opportunities; we met
them at APPEX. ”
Graham Heard
Exploration & Technical Director
Northern Petroleum Plc
“ APPEX Istanbul was a major
success for EPI in respect to
networking and as a result landed
a substantial seismic QC land
project in East Africa. EPI is very
impressed by the calibre of the
presenters and delegates that
attended the show and it definitely
met our expectations! ”
Charles Czajkowski,
Senior Business
Development Manager,
