Rebecca PY MALAYSIA, 24 AUGUST 2026 – Southeast Asia is cementing its status as a premier global energy hub, with the International Energy Agency projecting the region will drive nearly 20 percent of global energy demand growth by 2035. Against this backdrop of rapid expansion and shifting supply dynamics, Oil and Gas Asia 2026 returns to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from September 2 to 4 to accelerate regional partnerships and technological advancement.
Organized by Informa Markets Malaysia, the 22nd edition of the event operates under the theme Powering Progress, Shaping Tomorrow. The platform brings together government officials, engineering firms, technology developers, and investors to convert emerging market opportunities into commercial outcomes across the entire energy value chain.
Building on the momentum of its previous edition, which generated more than 42 million dollars in commercial deals, the 2026 exhibition places enhanced networking and market access at its core. Informa Markets Malaysia Country General Manager Gerard Leeuwenburgh noted that meeting the regional energy demand requires deeper cross-sector collaboration among policymakers, producers, and technology providers.
National oil company PETRONAS returns as Corporate Partner for the fifth consecutive year, reinforcing its commitment to balancing regional energy security with sustainable, lower-carbon solutions across its integrated portfolio. Additionally, the Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation continues its involvement to champion local energy services companies on the regional stage, as highlighted by President and Chief Executive Officer Mohd Yazid Jaafar.
The event will showcase technical innovations from global country pavilions, including representation from Australia, China, Germany, India, Italy, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Alongside the main exhibition floor, specialized knowledge streams such as SPEAK OGA, EIC Connect OGA, and MOGSEC will address C-suite leadership insights, global supply chain intelligence, and regional competitiveness. Visitor registration is currently open for industry professionals seeking to participate in the event.
