Upstream to produce Daily News at 20th World Petroleum Congress

The World Petroleum Council has appointed Upstream, the leading quality news 
source for the international oil and gas industry, to produce the Daily Newsletter for 
the 21st World Petroleum Congress. Held in Moscow, Russia, from the 15-19 June 
this year, the 21st WPC will be the highlight on the oil and gas calendar for 2014, 
with 5000 delegates, 600 speakers and over 500 Ministers and CEOs attending 
from around the world. 
 
Dr. Pierce Riemer, the Director General of the World Petroleum Council, 
announced the appointment and added: “We feel confident that Upstream can 
provide the unbiased, independent journalism required for the 21st WPC Daily 
Newsletter. Their excellent proposal, combined with the quality Upstream brings to 
the table, made them the best candidate to deliver the Daily News at the 21st 
World Petroleum Congress.”
 
Upstream was delighted to win the tender for the 2st WPC Daily Newsletter second 
time running and Erik Means, the Editor-in-chief for Upstream, said that it was a 
great honour for Upstream to be appointed official publisher of the WPC 2014 
Show Dailies. “This is an exciting challenge that is not to be taken lightly. We will 
assemble a large team of experienced energy reporters in Moscow this June to 
cover every facet of the congress and exhibition, and we look forward to a news-packed week from start to finish." He acknowledged that "the World Petroleum 
Congress is truly unrivalled as a meeting place for key stakeholders and policy-makers in the oil and gas industry. The list of participants at this prestigious event 
is essentially a who’s who of the global petroleum industry, and this is reflected in 
the outstanding quality of the forums, keynotes and technical sessions.”
