SPE Conference

Oil & Gas: Working Together for a Net Zero Future

Created by specialist committees of industry thought leaders, including peer-reviewed technical abstracts, the conference is truly "by the industry, for the industry".

That's why this is the leading offshore energy event in Europe, as well as being the largest free-to-attend conference dedicated to the offshore energy community!

In 2019, great debates were had over 12 keynote sessions with a specific focus on energy transition and what it means for the future of offshore energy on a global scale. 119 countries and 37 nations were represented on our exhibition floor, connecting with visitors from independent, national and international operating companies.

Watch our video to hear from Mike Borrell, our Conference Chair, as we caught up with him at SPE Offshore Europe 2019.

Conference Chair Neil Saunders, Executive Vice President Oilfield Equipment, at Baker Hughes, said: “The future of oil & gas is in our hands and working together is crucial to remain relevant and in the energy mix.”

“This year the world has endured a global pandemic and a resulting economic slowdown. This is not the first time that we have had economic slowdowns and all industrial sectors were affected. However in the energy industry one dynamic emerged as a constant; the energy transition is accelerating and the Oil and Gas Industry recognises it has a significant part to play.

“For Offshore Europe 2021 we are partnering with the key stakeholders in the region including Equinor, Shell, BP, Chevron, Total, Chrysaor, CNOOC International, Aker BP, Neptune Energy, Wood, Worley, Aker Solutions, Petrofac, Schlumberger, TechnipFMC and many others, with the same goal and vision in mind - to reduce the carbon footprint of the oil and gas industry.”
