Welcome to the 5th annual conference on Seabed Minerals!

Demand for critical minerals is expected to be greater than the supply from the mining industry and recycling. Further, the value chains are highly geographically concentrated, making them vulnerable to political instability, geopolitical risks, natural disasters and possible export restrictions. 

A handful of countries have taken the lead in developing technology and knowledge for exploration and extraction of deep-sea minerals. The race toward production has started… 

Under the patronage of His Excellency Abdel Fattah El Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, EGYPES will take place on 30 March-1 April 2026, exploring how Egypt, at the heart of Africa and the Mediterranean, is driving responsible energy transformation. Held under the theme ‘Transforming energy through collaboration, action and realism’ EGYPES unites global energy leaders, policymakers, and industry pioneers to redefine energy systems, advance sustainable energy transformations, and unlock opportunities for regional progress in the backdrop of global energy transition.

The EAGE Sub-Saharan Africa Energy Forum is a must-attend event for African energy professionals and students. African residents can take advantage of EAGE’s 50% registration fee discount, while students benefit from complimentary student places, providing a unique opportunity to engage with industry leaders and shape the region’s energy future.

This interactive forum brings together energy leaders, geoscientists, engineers, and policymakers to explore Sub-Saharan Africa’s evolving energy landscape, addressing both opportunities and challenges across frontier and proven hydrocarbon provinces. Participants will gain insights into the critical path from exploration to proven play development, focusing on building a resilient resource base and maximizing value from existing assets.

Sessions will also highlight how emerging technologies are improving subsurface understanding, operational efficiency, and project outcomes across the energy lifecycle, while exploring the role of sustainable energy solutions in shaping a low-carbon future.

For 23 years, DEVEX has been the only technical conference of its kind to focus on the full E&P project cycle; from exploration, appraisal, development and production, through to CCUS and decommissioning. DEVEX 2026 will draw on decades of industry experience to help shape our future, by providing a platform to share innovative ideas, lessons learned and inspire new ways of working.

We look forward to welcoming geoscientists, geophysicists, geologists, reservoir engineers, petroleum engineers and all Young Professionals to the 23rd DEVEX Conference in April in Aberdeen!

Please join us for the 62nd Continental Europe Energy Council Event in Athens, Greece on 7-9 May 2026, organized by the CEEC and hosted by HELLENiQ UPSTREAM. It is an excellent opportunity to connect with some 250 energy professionals from independent companies, NOCs, government authorities, service providers and investors from across Europe.

Experience a three day program including the Icebreaker Reception on Thursday, the Technical Session and Gala Dinner on Friday, and the Field Trip with a Farewell Reception on Saturday. Don’t miss out on networking, sharing information and opening up new business opportunities.

The CEEC has been active for over 30 years and currently represents a key event in the energy business in Continental Europe.

It is an ideal place to exchange information and make deals. It has expanded its traditional oil and gas focus to include also the geothermal energy, hydrogen, helium and CCS.

Denmark’s CO₂ storage sector is entering a new phase. Exploration licences are being executed, the first storage approval is in place, and geological data from active work programmes is beginning to inform real decisions.

DTU Offshore’s 5th CCS Conference brings together geoscientists, engineers, and project leads working on CCS storage – in Denmark and beyond. Industry partners holding exploration licences will present technical findings from their ongoing work programmes, covering e.g. reservoir characterisation, containment, injectivity, and preliminary risk assessments. Stakeholder engagement and public perception – increasingly central to onshore storage development – will also be addressed.

International speakers from advanced CCS projects, including Porthos and Viking CCS, will share practical lessons from legacy well repurposing, subsurface characterisation, and storage maturation.

For professionals working on CCS, this conference offers a technically grounded programme centred on Denmark’s storage development.

The Equatorial Margin is entering a transformative new chapter. Recent ultra-deepwater discoveries have reignited global interest in this frontier, confirming its vast potential and sparking critical technical and strategic dialogue. Building on the momentum of our inaugural event, this second edition promises deeper insights and stronger collaboration across disciplines.

The 2026 programme encompasses the entire spectrum of the margin’s evolution, from the tectonics of conjugate basins and petroleum systems to the latest advancements in geoscience technologies. Beyond technical innovation, the conference features dedicated sessions on environmental regulations, safety, and socioeconomics, alongside essential lessons learned and new opportunities within the energy transition.

With Rio de Janeiro serving as a central hub for deepwater expertise, this event aims to connect global pioneers with regional strategic insights. Join us in May 2026 to continue this essential dialogue and shape the future of the Equatorial Margin!

The Operations Geoscience Conference (OGC) returns after a 6 year absence on the 18th June 2026 at the prestigious Geological Society, Burlington House, London, hosted by the London Petrophysical Society (LPS).

The conference will be bringing together geoscientists working at the interface of subsurface understanding and well delivery. This year’s theme, “Evolution,” will explore how the role of the Operations Geoscientist is adapting to new challenges, technologies, and opportunities across the energy sector.

The conference will showcase practical insights and lessons learned from across the industry, covering topics such as well planning and delivery, real-time operations and geosteering, PPFG and geomechanics, formation evaluation, subsurface uncertainty, and the integration of geoscience with drilling and production teams, all with an eye to the future, and potential “Evolution” of our role within the energy mix.

OGC 2026 aims to create a practical, discussion-led forum for the operations geoscience community to share experience, strengthen collaboration, and discuss the future of the discipline.

Now approaching 18 years since the first meeting in 2008, the Conjugate Margins Conference continues to unite industry, academia, and government to explore the geological evolution and energy resource potential of the Atlantic margin conjugate basins. Following highly successful editions on both sides of the Atlantic margin, the series has grown into a premier international forum for sharing new insights.

The 9th edition, hosted once again in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, will feature technical sessions, workshops and field trips focused on rifted margin processes, deepwater systems, geodynamics, and emerging energy themes. The conference and networking events will highlight Newfoundland and Labrador’s world-class geology and renowned hospitality.

Join colleagues from around the globe to share new research, foster partnerships, and celebrate nearly 20 years of advancing the science and exploration of Atlantic conjugate margins while in North America’s oldest and easternmost city!
