SPE Offshore Europe Aberdeen

SPE Offshore Europe is one of the world’s most important trade fairs for the offshore energy sector. The event focuses on exploration technology, oil and gas production, as well as innovative technologies driving the energy transition. Organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) in partnership with RX UK Reed Exhibitions Ltd., the exhibition takes place every September at the state-of-the-art P&J Live exhibition centre in Aberdeen—a city regarded as the “oil capital of Europe” and a key hub for the offshore industry since the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1960s.

SPE Offshore Europe stands out for its broad thematic scope and in-depth coverage. In addition to traditional upstream topics such as exploration, drilling technology, reservoir management, and health and safety, the event focuses on the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition. Key topics include decarbonization, platform electrification, CCUS, the hydrogen economy, offshore wind, innovative solutions for operations and maintenance, logistics, decommissioning, digital transformation, and the use of artificial intelligence. Attendees gain insights into current net-zero strategies, new floating wind concepts, hydrogen production, cloud-based data platforms, and cybersecurity applications—all tailored to the specific requirements of the offshore sector.

The exhibition showcases pioneering products, services, and innovations from across the entire value chain: from oil and gas production and offshore wind to sustainable energy technologies, recycling, and circular economy solutions. Exhibitors represent a wide range of international organizations, including engineering service providers, technology suppliers, research institutes, start-ups, and digital solution specialists. Visitors are primarily technical professionals, decision-makers, engineers, scientists, and young professionals seeking information on the latest developments, networking opportunities, and solutions for the industry’s current and future challenges.

A highlight of the event is the accompanying conference, which features presentations, workshops, and panel discussions with leading international experts from the offshore and energy sectors.

SPE Offshore Europe is much more than a trade fair: it serves as a central platform for international exchange and strategic direction within the offshore energy industry. P&J Live, as one of the UK’s most modern venues, offers excellent infrastructure and is easily accessible via Aberdeen International Airport and the regional transport network—an ideal setting for an event that plays a decisive role in shaping the future of Europe’s energy landscape.

The SPE Offshore Europe in Aberdeen took place from Tuesday, 02. September to Friday, 05. September 2025.
