Chaired by FERB Chairman Arun Karmaker, the seminar was addressed, among others, by energy experts Prof Dr M Tamim, Saleque Sufi and Prof Shamsul Alam.
Speaking at the seminar, Nasrul said the offshore blocks will be brought under the multi-client survey and the government has been working to set up the best refinery apart from Single Point Mooring (SPM).
He said the government will establish a Power Management Institute for building capacity of officials and engineers in the power sector.
