The Hague, the Netherlands has attracted a large cluster of oil & gas companies. Shell selected The Hague for its Global Headquarters employing more than 5, 000 people. Other major players like TAQA, Shell, Fugro, Aramco, Petro-Canada, Total and Repsol also use The Hague as a major hub for their international operations. There must be a reason for this.

Could it be The Hague’s strategic location in Europe? Is it because of its excellent infrastructure, and critical mass of oil & gas suppliers and expertise? How about the international business environment and the exceptional quality of life? Could the business- friendly tax climate or the very helpful (local) government have something to do with it? Or is it because The Hague hosts many of the decision makers and influentials relevant to oil and gas industry?
