‘Exploring Atlantic Ireland 2006’, oil and gas industry conference to take place in Dublin this November.
‘Exploring Atlantic Ireland 2006’ is the name of an up-coming conference in the Burlington Hotel, the sub-heading on its promotional brochure reads: “Investing in an exciting petroleum province”. The conference features a series of workshops on technical and bureaucratic issues involved in oil and gas extraction, plus a couple of plenary sessions with key speakers.
‘Exploring Atlantic Ireland 2006’ is being organized by bmf Business Services, a consultancy firm based in the North, together with the Petroleum Affairs Division of the Department of Communications, Marine & Natural Resources.
From their website I gather that bmf Business Services are not a company you hire to organise your conference, but rather hosting these conferences is a part of its business of providing ‘business services’. That is they create an event, and then sell it to you.
The ‘Exploring Atlantic Ireland 2006’ conference takes place in the Burlington Hotel Dublin, on November the 8th and November the 9th. |

was wondering what to make of this site. Felt pretty suspicious of it.
it looked far too slick to be powered by donations.
Is mr B a Nasty corporate shill perhaps?
anyone have the skinny on this site? http://www.opendemocracy.net
This event has to be highlighted for the benefit of all the citizens of this state, so that the scandal of the Corrib gas givaway can be exposed along with more recent carve ups of Irish oil and gas reserves. it beggers beleif that this government continues to insist on giving away billions of euros worth of our national resources to giant multi-nationals for next to nothing. It makes the current "Bertie" scandal look like very small beer indeed. Surely a tribunal needs to be set-up to look into this massive scandal since the actions of the government on this matter defie all commonsense - economic or otherwise!!
News of the speakers at this conference has been released, they include:
Steve Smith, Regional Explorationist, SHELL E&P IRELAND LTD, Gareth Allinson, Statoil's Exploration Manager for the UK, Ireland and the Faroes, several speakers from the Petroleum Affairs Division, Fergus Cahill, chairman of the Irish Offshore Operators Association, a speaker from Providence Resources, and Minister Noel Dempsey.
