Yu Haijian from Eni shared insights on CCUS and energy transition initiatives, while U Than Min, former Deputy Managing Director of MOGE, detailed new trends in deepwater oil and gas exploration and development in Myanmar. David Hao WU, CEO of Offshore Engineering Group, elaborated on the concept of industrial synergy with the theme "Building Synergistic Resilience," and Paul Tan, FPSO Strategy Director at Wison Clean Energy, shared his strategic development ideas.

Four Parallel Thematic Forums: Technical Topics Return to Engineering Implementation

On June 17, multiple thematic forums were held in parallel, with topics further focusing on equipment localization, drilling and completion technologies, FPS project updates, intelligent construction, and deep-sea wind power engineering.

The Subsea Production Systems and Offshore Equipment Forum focused on deep-sea resource development, equipment localization, and enhancing engineering application capabilities. Feng Qin, Senior Expert at Sinopec, introduced technologies and breakthroughs related to 5,000-meter deep-sea mining. Zhang Niantao from Offshore Oil Engineering shared new progress and challenges in the localization of subsea production systems. Lang Yiming from CNOOC (China) Ltd. Shanghai Branch, combined with the integrated exploration and production engineering in the East China Sea, proposed innovative thoughts and suggestions for practical projects.

The Offshore Oil & Gas Drilling and Completion Forum focused on technological advancements in deep layers, deepwater, high-temperature high-pressure, and intelligent drilling and completion. Wei Hongshu from CNOOC Shenzhen shared experiences in accelerating deep-layer drilling in the eastern South China Sea oilfields. Rao Zhihua focused on the research and application of key technologies for offshore CO₂ reinjection storage drilling and completion. Yang Bin from COSL introduced the "Xuanji" drilling system's solutions for intelligent and efficient drilling. Miao Dianyuan from CNOOC Well Control Center discussed the practical application and development trends of AI-empowered well control safety.

The FPS Project Updates and Intelligent Construction Innovation Forum revolved around the low-carbon, integrated, and efficient construction of floating production facilities. Sarimah Talib, Vice President of Bumi Armada, shared the FPSO sustainability and decarbonization agenda. Erwin Indrawan, Project Manager for Medco E&P's Terubuk project in Indonesia, discussed how integrated development and infrastructure reuse can accelerate first production. Liu Xiaogang from Wison Clean Energy reviewed the global FLNG technology development roadmap and trends. Wang Zhaoqiang from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding explored efficient FPSO construction models. Wei Wei from GTT China and Wang Zhihao from Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding shared insights on floating LNG unit market dynamics, LNG containment systems, and cryogenic engineering testing technologies.

Deep-Sea Wind Power Engineering: Cross-Industry Resonance Between Oil & Gas and Wind Power. Distinguished guests gathered, including Xie Sumei from the South China Sea Development Research Institute of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Qi Lei from CNOOC Clean Energy, Yuan Guokai from China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute, Lin Weinan from COSCO Shipping Salvage, Sun Tianxue from PowerChina Guizhou Electric Power Design Institute, Xu Yumin from China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group, Liao Jianmin from Xinglan Wind Power, Deng Zijun from Saitec, Xie Xie from CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding, Zhong Linyue from Yongfu Co., Ltd., Wang Jin from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Wang Pengzhu from China University of Mining and Technology. They comprehensively deconstructed the upgrade path of the entire deep-sea wind power industry chain—from planning and construction to operation and maintenance—covering topics such as sea-use policies, wind-oil & gas integration, foundation structure innovation, installation of the world's largest converter station, self-installing Spar platforms, mobile dock construction, large-capacity wind turbine hoisting, and C-CSOV maintenance vessel design.

The focus of the offshore engineering industry has shifted from individual equipment or projects to more complex system capability building. Future competition in the offshore engineering industry will no longer be just about shipyard construction capacity or individual equipment capability, but a comprehensive competition in project organization, engineering integration, technology validation, supply chain synergy, and long-term operation and maintenance capabilities.

Dual-Track Procurement Matchmaking: Demand Sides Enter with Projects for Exchange

The concurrent procurement matchmaking sessions were a significant highlight of this conference. Held continuously on June 16 and 17, international oil companies, domestic central state-owned enterprises, and EPC contractors entered negotiations with clear project requirements.

Units participating in the procurement matchmaking on June 16 included PETRONAS, Petrobras, Medco E&P Indonesia, MOGE, Myanmar Oil and Gas Services Association, Husky Oil, Lekoil, Davex LTD, OneSubsea, CIMC Raffles, Wison Clean Energy, OceanSTAR, MODEC, Canada Yuanwang Group, Yiu Lian Dockyards, and Morimatsu Heavy Industry.

Units participating in the procurement matchmaking on June 17 included Husky-CNOOC Madura Limited, KBR, Malaysia Oil & Gas Association, Timor Gap, CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding, WOOD China, as well as CNOOC Shenzhen Branch's Eastern South China Sea Oil Research Institute, CNOOC Shanghai Branch, CNOOC Energy Technology & Services-Oil Production Services Co., and CNOOC Deepwater Engineering Research Center.

For supply chain enterprises, the value of procurement matchmaking sessions lies not only in the on-site meeting itself but also in bringing demand sides, general contractors, shipyards, and equipment service providers into the same scenario for communication. This conference centrally connected international oil companies, domestic central enterprises, general contractors, shipyards, and supply chain enterprises, transforming project opportunities from one-way information release into face-to-face demand confirmation and subsequent cooperation entry points.

Special Thanks

The successful organization of OC2026 would not have been possible without the support of every attending guest, partner, exhibitor, and participant. We thank all speakers and roundtable guests for their professional insights, and also express our gratitude to the procurement matchmaking participants, industry chain enterprises, and the on-site audience for their active involvement. It is these exchanges from the front lines of projects, engineering, and the market that elevated this conference beyond mere topic discussion, fostering more concrete cooperative connections and industrial interactions.

See You Again in Shanghai, November 2026, at OEEG2026

With OC2026 Shenzhen just concluded, the OEEG Global Offshore Industry Chain 2026 Annual Conference is already on its way.

In November 2026, the OEEG Global Offshore Industry Chain Conference (Website: https://www.oeeglobal.com/) will move to the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. With a larger scale, broader coverage, and deeper industrial connectivity, it will continue to bring together international oil companies, EPC contractors, shipyards, module yards, equipment suppliers, technical service institutions, and offshore supply chain enterprises.

From Shenzhen to Shanghai, OEEG will continue to build a more efficient communication platform centered around resource linkage, project matchmaking, supply chain synergy, and industry ecosystem development for the global offshore industry chain.
