Speaking at the opening ceremony, ExxonMobil Global Head of LNG Peter Clarke said, “We are excited to be here and share our experience in the natural gas and LNG industry.”

In the exhibition hall, the ExxonMobil booth hosted back-to-back business meetings throughout the week with international policymakers, customers and partners.
