Message of Invitation from the President-Director General
Dear members of the scientific and energy community,
Dear colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that I announce the upcoming twelfth edition of the Scientific and Technical Days (JST 12) of SONATRACH, which will take place from June 23 to 25, 2025.
Under the theme:
"The Energy of Technological Innovation"
This edition aims to be a premier meeting dedicated to exploring strategic challenges and collective reflection on energy issues and innovative solutions that will shape the future of our sector in the region.
The JST 12 gives us the opportunity to combine expertise, knowledge, and know-how to explore three strategic themes for our industry:
- Exploration and production (Oil & Gas) , integrating technological advancements in the field of oil and gas exploration and enhanced recovery in various types of reservoirs.
- The environment and sustainable development , key pillars of the global energy transition.
- Digital transformation , a crucial lever to boost performance and foster innovation.
As a leader in the energy sector, SONATRACH reaffirms its ambition to make this event a privileged space for knowledge sharing, highlighting best practices, and promoting innovation for sustainability.
We are confident that the richness of our exchanges and the active contributions from SONATRACH's expertise, renowned experts, and members of the scientific community, whether from national or international spheres, will allow us to explore innovative solutions to the energy challenges of our time.
I warmly invite each of you to actively participate in this event, a symbol of our collective commitment to a sustainable and innovative energy future.
I look forward to seeing you during these days as we move forward together towards new perspectives and energy solutions.
