About the Technical Conferences

From advances in drilling and geoscience to AI-enabled digital operations and next-generation refining and processing technologies, the Technical Conferences showcase practical solutions being deployed across the global energy value chain. Spanning upstream development, midstream infrastructure and downstream processing, the programmes highlight how technology, operational excellence and intelligent integration are strengthening system performance and supporting reliable, efficient energy delivery.

Curated technical sessions bring together global experts from industry, academia and technology providers across two dedicated programmes — the SPE-led Technical Conference and the Downstream Technical Conference. Together, they translate technical excellence into scalable, real-world solutions that reinforce infrastructure, optimise operations and strengthen the resilient energy systems that power economies worldwide.

“Meeting rising global energy demand – accelerated by industrial growth, electrification and AI – requires more than ambition. It demands energy addition, operational excellence and intelligent integration across the full value chain. The ADIPEC Technical Conferences are where this integration comes to life. By bringing together engineers, operators and technology leaders, ADIPEC advances scalable, deployable solutions that strengthen infrastructure, enhance system performance and reinforce the resilient foundations on which economic growth and long-term prosperity depend.”
