Joint APEC-JODI Training Workshop on Oil and Gas Statistics

Tokyo, Japan

JODI Partner organisations held a joint JODI-APEC Workshop on Oil and Gas Statistics in Tokyo, Japan from 11-13 June 2018. This joint workshop was hosted by the Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre (APERC) and held as part of APERC training for their member economies on Oil and Gas Statistics with the support of JODI Partner Organisations (GECF, IEA, IEF, OPEC, and UNSD) with a view to train experts on how to compile statistical energy balances in accordance with JODI standards.

More than 30 delegates from 15 countries in the Asia Pacific Region as well as many international organisations and companies attended, including the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) and CNPC Research Institute of Economics and Technology. The wide range of participants improved understanding of the standards JODI applies, and strengthened the capacity of statistical agencies to enhance energy market data transparency in the Asia Pacific region.

For the first time since JODI's inception, the workshop was held as part of APERC training programme. The cooperative spirit between APEC and the JODI Partner Organisations enabled this joint and mutually beneficial initiative.

Several of the JODI Partner Organisations sent experts to present on the merits and technicalities of JODI, highlighting the importance of cooperation in delivering upon Ministers' calls for enhanced global energy market data transparency. Presentations by JODI Partners detailed the applications of JODI data and highlighted the importance of data granularity for usability. These perspectives underlined the need for clear data definitions and submissions. In addition the workshop assisted attendees in improving collaboration with business entities who report data to national administrations.

The workshop was also held to extend JODI outreach and improve data availability as part the JODI 5-Year Action Plan toward 2020.
