DEVEX 2026

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!

SPONSORSHIP

SPE Aberdeen, GESGB and AFES are not for profit organisations. Raising sponsorship is crucial to help us ensure that DEVEX continues to be an affordable and valuable training opportunity for the industry; to enable us to re-invest back into industry and society and to support our future generation of young engineers and geoscientists.

This is your opportunity to sign up early, take advantage of the early bird sponsorship rates and be a prime example of industry collaboration to deliver a first class conference for the industry. Any surplus funds get reinvested by each organising society to help support the future of our young engineers and geoscientists.
