Topsides UK 2026

NORTH SEA 2026: DELIVERING MULTI‑ENERGY PERFORMANCE AT SCALE

The Chester Hotel, Aberdeen 17–18 NOVEMBER 2026

PROGRAMME LIVE – BOOK NOW. EARLY BIRD PRICES AVAILABLE UNTIL 7TH OCTOBER.

2026 Marks 10 Years of Topsides UK

The North Sea is entering the most consequential decade in its history. In 2026, the basin is no longer defined solely by oil and gas production - it is becoming a fully integrated multi-energy system where hydrocarbons, carbon storage, offshore wind, hydrogen, and electrification must coexist, reinforce one another, and deliver measurable performance improvements. Topsides engineering sits at the centre of this transformation.

Topsides UK 2026 brings together the operators, engineers, innovators, and supply chain leaders who will shape this new era. The conference focuses on the practical realities of delivering safe, efficient, low-emissions operations while enabling the infrastructure required for large-scale CCS, electrification, and clean energy integration. This is not a theoretical transition; it is a technical, commercial, and regulatory shift that demands new capabilities, new partnerships, and new performance standards.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Topsides UK 2026 is built for the people responsible for keeping North Sea assets safe, efficient, and future-ready - across oil & gas, CCS, offshore wind, and hydrogen.
