Set against a transitioning energy landscape, the 2nd Papua New Guinea Petroleum & Energy Summit 2018 takes place from 19-21 March, 2018, and will be held under the patronage of the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Rt. Hon. Peter O’Neill, CMG and endorsed by the Minister of Petroleum Hon. Dr Fabian Pok Mec Ph.D and Hon. Sam Basil, Minister of Communications, Information Technology & Energy.
