The Arab Petroleum Research Center (APRC), founded in 1965, is an independent organization for studies and publications on the oil and gas industry covering the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caspian Sea region. APRC acts as consultant to Arab oil producing countries and international oil and gas companies.


Thanks to its long-established direct contacts with the main decision-makers in the national and international companies based in the leading oil and gas exporting countries, APRC provides subscribers to its five publications with independent and authoritative information they need regularly, a thorough analysis of events in the oil and gas sectors and an assessment of economic and political strategies.

Every information and statistic is rigorously checked before publication to support your critical business decision. We add value by outlining the background and interpreting what fresh news mean for the development of the oil and gas industry in the Arab countries, Iran, Africa and the Caspian Sea region.

APRC's publications feature interviews with top officials from oil and gas companies and international energy organizations, in-depth analytical studies, papers and articles by leading experts on various aspects of the oil, gas and petrochemical industries, detailed statistics and first-hand information on contracts, projects and tenders.
