PETEX has grown over the past years to become the largest subsurface-focussed E&P conference and exhibition in the UK. Attracting thousands of delegates from across the world from a wide spectrum of industry sectors, from super-majors to consultancies, this bi-annual event is an excellent opportunity for anyone involved in the geosciences.
PETEX 2018 is delighted to announce our keynote presenters, William Zimmern (Head of Macro Economics, BP), Tony Doré (Senior Advisor to Exploration Management, Statoil), Ed Harbour (Vice President, Watson & Cloud Platform Client Success, IBM) and Hinda Gharbi (President of the Reservoir Characterization Group, Schlumberger).
Hear about the energy outlook for 2018 and beyond, the emerging trends in the market and how NW Europe is placed to adapt. Listen to how a company’s global strategy evolved to one of value creation that may see the UKCS become a competitive market once again. Learn first-hand how new technology has begun to change the way our industry is doing business and hear about the impact “Big Data” is having on the way we explore. Discover how companies are using the digital transformation to change the way we work as an industry and gain an insight into how the industry is adapting its business models to improve integration and collaboration between different sectors of the industry.

Why Exhibit at PETEX 2018?
Refreshment breaks
We’d like to supply tea & coffee around the show floor for the breaks and are looking for support to help make this happen.
Ice Breaker Reception
The show is still building up, but exhibitors will get access to an ice breaker event that will dovetail with the first ever Young Professionals Summit – a collaboration between PESGB, AAPG, EAGE, Oil & Gas UK and SPE. This is an opportunity to make some new contacts with the up and coming in the industry before PETEX kicks off the next morning.
Evening Networking Reception
The first day’s conference comes to an end and the conference attendees cover the show floor, PETEX will supply refreshments as the evening goes on, and exhibitors are encouraged to take part!
Wednesday 28 November
Exploration Managers’ Lunch
Bringing over 120 EMEA Exploration Managers to PETEX in 2016, this networking event is excellent for them, and a good opportunity for you to promote yourselves to them.
Evening Excursion till late
The conference closes and the audience wait on the show floor visiting your booths in preparation for the Evening Excursion. We have already identified four pubs very close to Olympia that would suit, so if you’re interested in partnering with this, do let us know.
Technical Conference Award Ceremony
This will be the third year we have run the awards at PETEX and we’d like this event to be even better. If you can help, let us know.
Geocaching / Treasure hunt
The return of the PETEX treasure hunt! Take part and drive people to your stand on Thursday afternoon. We’re looking for supporters to send in questions and prizes that we can offer out.
Sundowner
“Just one for the road”. From 3pm on Thursday until half an hour after the conference closes, one last opportunity to get business cards and arrange meetings with those you need to speak to.
