ATTENTION! Changes in dates and locations of OMR 2026 events

St. Petersburg International Gas Forum, within which the OMR Forum is traditionally held, originally scheduled for 6−9 October 2026, has been postponed to 2027. The Gas Forum has been postponed due to a great number of other large-scale events held in October in Russia. In addition to the annual Russian Energy Week, this October Russia will host a summit of heads of states and governments of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) and the Russia-Africa Summit.

That is why the OMR Organizing Committee have made the following decisions on holding OMR Forum:

• OMR Exhibition will be held in 2027 as part of St. Petersburg International Gas Forum in ExpoForum Exhibition Center
