Uniting Efforts: Venezuela’s Definitive Energy Summit

One Platform, One Shared Purpose

Due to contingencies surrounding the recent earthquake, the Caracas Gas Forum rescheduled its independent dates to join forces in a strategic alliance with the Venezuela International Oil & Gas Summit (VIOGS).

This decision unifies our capabilities and resources into a single flagship event for the country's energy sector—integrating technical, managerial, and commercial insights into a comprehensive agenda covering the entire hydrocarbons value chain.

Monetization & Regulatory Frameworks:

Driving the legal and commercial mechanisms needed to position Venezuela as a natural gas hub for the Caribbean and South America.

Regional Integration & Trade:

Analyzing cross-border export initiatives, offshore licensing rounds, and small-scale LNG (virtual pipeline) solutions.

Sustainability & Transition:

Strategies for flare reduction and defining the critical role of natural gas as the bridge fuel for the regional energy transition.
