Ukraine-International Energy Roundtable was held in Houston, Texas from May 1-3, 2006. The ostensible theme of the forum was Strengthening Ukraine's Energy Diversity; the event coincided with Houston's annual Offshore Technology Conference (OTC). As part of the conference, participants had an opportunity to take part in business-to-business breakout sessions focused on oil, gas, coal, hydro power, nuclear power and alternative fuels. These sessions enabled Ukrainian participants to meet their various US counterparts, to examine and evaluate old problems, and to propose innovative solutions.
