SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan) continues its market research on the European market and negotiates for possible participation in energy projects in Europe, head of SOCAR representation in Austria, Gumirza Javadov said on Sept.10.
"The company continues negotiations with partners on market research and opportunities for the country's participation in this or that project," Javadov said.
Today in connection with the global financial and economic crisis, the situation is fundamentally different from the one that was a year or eighteen months ago and under these conditions it is necessary to be much more careful. "Therefore we are negotiating carefully, but scrupulously. The research process continues," Javadov added.
"As long as we do not have any specific global changes, it would be inopportune to talk about anything," Javadov said.
According to Javadov, the representation is also actively engaged in agitation of the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Contract of the Century "(a project to develop the block of Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli fields) in the European media, as well as a major gas conference Gas Infrastructure World Caspian 2009 to be held in Baku on Sept.14 -16. "For our part, we present information about these events to the European media to publicize the country's memorable date," Javadov added.
During the conference in Baku a large number of bilateral and multilateral meetings are expected to be held with all the major companies that have received an invitation to attend the conference, Javadov said.
