Share your insights at OE25
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Offshore Europe 2025 Partnership Board, Executive Committee, the Technical Programme Committee, and its sponsoring organisations, we invite you to submit a technical paper proposal for presentation at Europe’s leading Offshore Exhibition & Conference. OE25 will take place 2-5 September 2025 in Aberdeen, Scotland at the state-of-the-art venue, P&J Live.
The last 2 years have brought some extreme challenges for the oil and gas industry. The continued war in Ukraine has heightened the focus of energy security. The rapid expansion of renewable energy and energy storage has introduced a new variable into the energy supply system. The political landscape has changed, with different countries moving in different directions and creating uncertainty. This has required some difficult decision making. However, we have also seen some of our industry’s best characteristics, resilience and innovation, amplified in the response.
Looking forward to OE25 we encourage you to share your goals, successes and ideas as part of an industry leading technical programme. With the overarching theme of “Unlocking Europe’s Potential in Offshore Energy”, the event aims to deliver a contemporary yet balanced technical programme, covering new areas of interest as well as making time for the more traditional topics.
The offshore industry has a critical role to play in the transition to the low carbon economy. This is reflected in the conference theme, and in our Call for Papers topics. We anticipate exciting discussion and debate as the industry steps up to the energy transition challenge.
We also recognise the value of sustaining our current production, with digitalisation and the application of AI driving cost reduction and supporting improved safety and performance.
OE25 provides you with a unique platform to showcase the latest technical developments and experiences within the industry, bringing together academics, practitioners and innovators to share their knowledge and expertise. We thank you in advance for your efforts and look forward to receiving high-quality submissions that will help shape a vibrant future for the offshore industry.
Kind regards,
Technical Programme Committee Co-Chairpersons

Abstract Submission Guidelines
1. Obtain necessary clearance from your management.
2. The paper abstract must be a minimum of 225 words and no more than 450 words in length and
should include a description of the proposed paper, results / conclusions, and the technical category
most applicable to your paper.
3. The abstract must be received by 28 February 2025.
4. Submit your abstracts online at offshore-europe.co.uk. The website also offers guidelines for
preparing and submitting your paper proposal on time.
5. Do not include the title or author names in the body of the abstract. The title and author information will be requested separately through the submission system.
6. Please note that, if accepted, your abstract may be published, as submitted, in conference information media, including the event website.
7. Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be required to provide a manuscript for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Authors who do not submit a manuscript, together with the associated publication forms, by the due date will be withdrawn from the programme and will not be allowed to present at the conference. Manuscripts will be due to SPE by 7 July 2025.
An abstract must be declined by a programme committee prior to being submitted to another conference for consideration. In the event it is detected that an abstract has been submitted to more than one conference, all versions / copies of that abstract will be removed from consideration.
Any paper previously presented at a conference and published in OnePetro may not be resubmitted for publication at another SPE conference. The author may present the subject matter at subsequent conferences at the invitation of the programme committee, but the paper will not be included in the conference proceedings.
The failure of SPE conference authors to have at least one designated individual present the paper at the conference will result in the conference paper being permanently withdrawn from the SPE technical paper archive in OnePetro.
SPE has a stated policy against the use of commercial trade names, company logos, or language that is commercial in tone in the paper title, text or slides. Use of such terms will result in careful scrutiny by the Programme Committee in evaluating abstracts and the presence of commercialism in the paper may result in it being withdrawn from the programme.
All authors of papers presented at the conference will be required to complete and submit a copyright release form to the Society of Petroleum Engineers or submit the copyright exemption form where applicable.
SPE and the Programme Committee consider an accepted abstract as a commitment to present.
If extenuating circumstances prevent the author from making the presentation, it is the author’s obligation to find an alternative presenter and notify their SPE programme lead and their session chairs (if applicable). Withdrawals must be made in writing to the SPE office as soon as possible. Under no circumstances can a submitted abstract be changed once it has been put forward. Cancellations, particularly after a paper has been accepted and publicised, are viewed by the SPE as highly unprofessional.
