Shana Tova and wishing a very happy New Year to our friends of all faiths. The last few weeks have been very busy in Universal Oil & Gas HQ. We have new speakers coming on board for UOG 2015, and the UOG Team have visited Israel and Aberdeen.

New Speakers
We are delighted that Israel’s Minister of Energy, Dr Yuval Steinitz, will be speaking in the Opening Ceremony at UOG 2015. Dr. Yuval Steinitz was appointed Minister of Finance in March 2009, serving until March 2013, when he was appointed Minister of Strategic and Intelligence Affairs responsible for International Relations. In May 2015 he was appointed Minister of National Infrastructure, Energy, and Water, and has the responsibility of developing Israel’s oil & gas industry.
We believe that under his leadership, Israel’s oil & gas industry is in a strong position.
