Sectors Represented

SPE Offshore Europe is a premier event for the international offshore energy sector, focusing primarily on upstream energy production supply chain activities.

Maintaining its core focus on traditional offshore energy, the event has expanded to incorporate crucial elements of the energy transition and the evolving commercial landscape to highlight the opportunities available throughout the region and across the energy mix.

This comprehensive approach positions SPE Offshore Europe as a vital platform for industry professionals to explore both current operational needs and future energy solutions.

At OE2023 over 30% of attendees stated direct involvement in Energy Transition operations. from across the global energy landscape. They gathered to explore innovative solutions, highlighting the sector's commitment to technological advancement and operational excellence.

OE2025 will continue to demonstrate the changing face of Energy, with dedicated Net Zero content throughout the conference. The Energy Transition Zone is expected to grow to approximately 50% of Hall 2, showcasing the important role the offshore industry is playing in this transition. And the Energy Transition Theatre in Hall 3 allows SPE Offshore Europe to provide a platform for industry to highlight the ongoing opportunities and challenges for how we can achieve a low carbon economy and a sustainable energy future

The decommissioning of North Sea oil and gas infrastructure is a crucial element in the UK's sustainable energy transition. This sector offers substantial opportunities for innovation and growth, with over £22 billion allocated for the recovery and repurposing of 1.2 million tonnes of obsolete installations.

SPE Offshore Europe provides comprehensive coverage of decommissioning topics through:

1. Extensive product and service exhibitions across the show floor
2. Dedicated decommissioning content in Hall 1's Future Opportunities Theatre
3. Focused sessions within the Technical Conference

These platforms offer industry professionals invaluable insights into the latest decommissioning technologies, best practices, and regulatory developments, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange in this rapidly evolving field.

At OE2023, 20% of attendees from across the energy sector were directly involved with digital technologies  highlighting the industry's commitment to technological innovation.

Digitalisation significantly enhances operational, production, and energy efficiency across various energy sectors through its transformative technological advancements. In the upstream oil and gas sector, digitalisation offers numerous applications that improve efficiency, safety, and decision-making.

At OE2023 30% of attendees were exploring CCUS for organisational diversification, seeking solutions and partnerships from leading companies.

The UK leads in Carbon Capture, Usage & Storage (CCUS) technology, backed by a £22 billion government commitment over 25 years. It has initiated Track-1 clusters, such as the Hynet cluster in Merseyside and the East Coast Cluster in Teesside and Humberside, with plans for Track-2 clusters like the ACORN Cluster in Aberdeenshire. The UK Continental Shelf offers a significant advantage, holding about 85% of Europe’s CO2 storage potential, positioning the UK as a global leader in CCUS to meet its 2050 net zero emissions target.

OE will showcase conference content highlighting the scale of ambition and opportunities within Keynotes Panel Sessions, the Technical Conference and at Hall 3’s Energy Transition Theatre. 

At OE2023, 35% of attendees were exploring Hydrogen generation, transport & storage in their future plans.  and helping accelerate hydrogen’s role in decarbonising our global energy landscape.

With Aberdeen well-placed as one of Europe’s pioneering hydrogen cities and the scale of ambition for blue and green hydrogen generation in the region, OE will showcase hydrogen technology and projects across the show floor, throughout the conference and in Hall 1’s dedicated Hydrogen Hub.

The Hydrogen Hub, in Hall 1 will showcase hydrogen technology including Energy Storage, Infrastructure, Heat, Supply Chain, Partnerships, Production, hydrogen refuelling containers, hydrogen-powered vehicles and fuel-cells, while the theatre will explore real life projects presented by industry leading experts.

What you know: 2,090 professionals from across the global energy landscape gathered in 2023 to explore innovative offshore wind technologies, highlighting the sector's rapid evolution in both fixed- and floating- projects and collaborative potential.

The UK is at the forefront of offshore wind technology, with significant advancements and commitments. The government has pledged substantial funding to support offshore wind initiatives. The North Sea is home to numerous operational wind farms, with several more in development, positioning the UK as a global leader in this sector. These efforts are integral to achieving the UK's net zero emissions target by 2050, leveraging the North Sea's potential to drive the transition to renewable energy.
