Welcome to Aberdeen
We look forward to welcoming you to the 87th EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition, taking place in Aberdeen on 8–11 June 2026!
Aberdeen, known as the “Energy Capital of Europe,” blends a rich history of geoscience with a strong presence in offshore engineering and energy innovation. As a city deeply rooted in the North Sea energy sector, it offers a dynamic setting that bridges tradition and cutting-edge research.
This provides a fitting backdrop to honour past geoscience achievements while advancing the conversation on maximizing recovery and unlocking value through cutting-edge technology and collaborative partnerships.
Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the 87th EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition in Aberdeen, Scotland.
EAGE’s 2026 theme is ‘Maximizing Recovery: Unlocking Value Through Technology and Partnerships,’ building on the successful, well attended event held in Toulouse, France. This is especially relevant as the world is in an ‘energy addition’ phase – consuming increasing amounts of both fossil fuels and low carbon energy to meet growing demand. The reality is that oil and gas will be needed for decades to come, with demand continuing to be robust beyond 2035.
Meeting this demand will only be possible by utilising the latest technology and leveraging strategic partnerships to maximise recovery in a cost challenged environment. The geoscience and engineering community has much to contribute by coming together with key partners to address the challenges and opportunities ahead. The conference therefore provides a much-needed platform to explore ideas and build the networks needed for the work ahead.
The programme has been designed to engage, inspire and facilitate collaboration. There will be representation from industry, academia, IOCs, NOCs and many more experts and thought leaders. The programme made up of keynote presentations, technical sessions, workshops, field trips and a major exhibition will showcase the latest industry trends, research and technology.
In addition to a world class programme, we hope delegates will find time to experience the rich culture of our host city. From stunning landscapes to historic castles, Aberdeen and its environs have much to offer beyond its reputation as a leading global energy hub.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has helped to make this event possible, and I look forward to continuing the conversation with you all in Aberdeen.
