The Oilholic is by no means a photojournalist, but akin to the
last congress in Doha, there is no harm in pretending to be one armed with a fully automatic Olympus FE-4020 digital camera here in Moscow!
The 21st World Petroleum Congress also marked this blogger's return to Russia and its wonderful capital city after a gap of 10 years.
The massive Crocus Expo International Center (
above left) happens to be the Russian venue for
the Congress from June 15 to June 19, with events also held at the
Kremlin. Hope you enjoy the virtual views of the venue as well as
Moscow, as the Oilholic is enjoying them here on the ground. (
