H.E. Eng. Karim Badawi
Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Arab Republic of Egypt
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Mediterranean Offshore Conference & Exhibition – MOC 2026, taking place in Alexandria from 20-22 October 2026, under the theme “Egypt as an Anchoring Force for Energy Security in the Mediterranean.”
At a time of profound transformation in the global energy landscape, MOC 2026 brings together governments, industry leaders, investors, technology providers, and experts to strengthen dialogue, exchange expertise, and advance partnerships that contribute to a more secure and sustainable energy future.
At the heart of the Mediterranean, Egypt plays a pivotal role in advancing regional energy security and cooperation. Supported by its strategic location, energy resources, integrated infrastructure, and strong regional and international partnerships, Egypt continues to strengthen its position as a regional energy hub and a key link between resources, markets, and opportunities.
We remain committed to attracting investment, accelerating exploration and production, embracing advanced technologies, and maximizing the value of our energy resources.
MOC 2026 provides an important platform to translate these ambitions into meaningful partnerships and tangible opportunities across the Mediterranean and beyond.
Since its launch in 2000, MOC has established itself as a recognized meeting point for the international energy community. In 2026, we look forward to building on this legacy and opening new horizons for collaboration, innovation, and shared growth.
I look forward to welcoming you to Alexandria and to MOC 2026.
Dear Esteemed Guests, Colleagues, and Partners,
It is my great honor to welcome you to the Mediterranean Offshore Conference – MOC 2026.
The Eastern Mediterranean has become one of the most dynamic and promising energy regions in the world. Today, our challenge is not only to discover new resources, but to unlock them faster, smarter, and in partnership with the global energy community.
As Chairman of MOC 2026, I believe this conference is more than an event. It is a platform where science meets investment, where digital transformation meets field operations, and where governments, IOCs, service companies, and young talent come together to shape the future of energy in our region.
Egypt, under the vision of HE Eng. Karim Badawi Minister of Petroleum & Mineral Resources, is committed to accelerating exploration, speeding up time-to-market for discoveries, and creating an investment climate built on transparency and data.
MOC 2026 will focus on 3 key pillars:
- Accelerating Exploration & Production
- Digitalization & Technology to reduce risk and cost in E&P
- Investment & Partnerships to attract new players and secure energy for the future
I invite you to join us in Alexandria to share knowledge, build partnerships, and turn geological potential into real projects that deliver energy, jobs, and prosperity.
The Mediterranean holds great promise. Together, let us turn that promise into production.
I look forward to seeing you at MOC 2026.
Dr. Mohamed Saeed Radwan
Chairman, Mediterranean Offshore Conference 2026

Egypt’s Energy Transition: Ambitions, Actions, and Alliances
Key Targets and Strategies: 65% Reduction in Emissions by 2030
Egypt aims to cut oil and gas sector emissions by 65% (approximately 1.7 million tonnes of CO₂e) by 2030 compared to a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario. This initiative underscores the country’s determination to mitigate the environmental impact of fossil fuel extraction and production.
Significant Cuts in Gas Flaring Emissions (cliccabile) si espande in A major contributor to emissions reduction is the reduction of gas flaring, a common practice in oil and gas operations that releases large amounts of CO₂ and methane. Egypt has set a target to decrease emissions from gas flaring by 1.682 million tonnes of CO₂ (65%) by 2030, relative to 2015 levels. This initiative aligns with global efforts to eliminate routine flaring and improve operational efficiency in hydrocarbon production.
Implementation Measures and Industry Collaboration: Adopting Advanced Technologies
Implementing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) solutions, as well as deploying more energy-efficient extraction and refining processes.
Enhancing Gas Recovery & Utilization
Strengthening Public-Private Partnerships
Regulatory & Policy Reforms
Strengthening Regional Energy Partnerships
Recent agreements highlight Egypt’s commitment to sustainable energy partnerships:
- Egypt-Greece: Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)
- Methanex Egypt: Process Safety Management
- Egypt-Cyprus: Natural Gas Development
- Egypt-Spain: Infrastructure & Transport
Natural Gas: A Key Transitional Fuel
