International Petroleum Technology Conference 2027
About the event
The International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) 2027 is a multidisciplinary upstream energy conference in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, at Dhahran Expo in the Eastern Province. Organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) with partner societies, IPTC is a flagship technical forum for drilling, reservoir engineering, geoscience, production, and digital oilfield innovation in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Global operators, national oil companies, service companies, and technology vendors attend for peer-reviewed papers, field case studies, and vendor meetings anchored in Saudi Arabia’s energy cluster. IPTC 2027 continues the Kingdom’s role hosting world-class upstream technical discourse alongside Aramco and regional operator priorities.
Upstream engineering and digital oilfield
Tracks span drilling, completions, reservoir management, decarbonization, and data-driven operations. Vendors showcase automation, subsea, and emissions-reduction technologies. Motaded’s Energy sector resources and Motaded Library guides support environmental, safety, and corporate-setup questions; multinationals often coordinate MISA licensing separately from operator vendor qualification.
Attendance tips
Review the technical program early and book travel to the Eastern Province. Poster sessions and student programs are useful for talent and R&D partnerships. Pair IPTC with Riyadh energy forums listed in the Events directory for a full Saudi energy calendar.
