The World Petroleum Council approved the Kazakhstan National Committee's application to host the next WPC Youth Forum in autumn 2022.

International forums for professional youth have been organised by the World Petroleum Council since 2004. Thanks to this initiative, young men and women who have tied their fates to the oil and gas industry and who represent different countries have an opportunity for free exchange of opinions and communication with industry leaders.

Kazakhstan takes the baton from Russia. VI WPC Youth Forum – Future Leaders Forum was held by the RNC WPC in St. Petersburg in June 2019.

1350 oil and gas industry representatives from 62 countries participated in the Forum organised by RNC WPC. Ministerial delegations from five countries came to interact with young professionals. The forum featured 235 speakers representing leading oil and gas companies, major scientific and expert centres.
