OE 2011 Aberdeen - best show ever!

The recent SPE Offshore Europe exhibition and conference was the largest in the event’s history, with over 1,500 exhibiting companies reflecting its global reach. The biennial SPE Offshore Europe conference and exhibition is now the largest upstream oil & gas event outside North America.

The 25,000 m² exhibition was nearly 10% larger than in 2009 – which was itself a record-breaker. It featured significantly more oil and gas operating companies than ever before, including many of the world’s leading Majors such as Shell, BP, Petrobras, ExxonMobil and Chevron.

Other international operating companies who participated included Statoil, Saudi Aramco, GDF Suez, Centrica, BG Group, DONG, Maersk, Cepsa, ENI, Petronas Carigali, Premier Oil, TAQA, Total, Addax Petroleum and INPEX.

There were 28 group pavilions. In addition to the trade group pavilions representing companies in England and Scotland, there were pavilions from leading oil and gas nations around the world, including the United States, China, Nigeria, Norway, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Austria, Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Germany, France and Flanders/Belgium.

Reflecting the global interest in SPE Offshore Europe and its continually expanding international reputation, this year saw new pavilions from Brazil, the Northern Territories of Australia, Finland, Greenland and Malaysia.
