OPES - OMAN PETROLEUM & ENERGY SHOW 2026

OPES 2026: Oman’s Premier Energy Hub
Dates: May 18–20, 2026
Venue: Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre, Muscat

The Oman Petroleum & Energy Show (OPES) returns in 2026 as the cornerstone of the Sultanate’s energy ambitions, uniting global leaders in oil, gas, renewables, and sustainability. As Oman accelerates its transition to a diversified, low-carbon future, OPES 2026 will serve as a critical platform for innovation, collaboration, and investment in one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets.

Why OPES Matters
Oman, a historic energy producer, is now spearheading regional reforms to integrate renewables, carbon capture, and hydrogen into its national strategy. With projects like Oman’s green hydrogen initiatives and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies gaining traction, OPES 2026 will showcase how the Sultanate is balancing legacy energy resources with next-generation solutions. The event aligns with Oman Vision 2040, which targets $30 billion in energy investments by 2030, emphasizing sustainability and economic diversification.

Event Highlights
- Exhibition: Over 500+ exhibitors from 50+ countries, featuring giants like TotalEnergies, Shell, and Siemens alongside startups pioneering AI-driven energy management and offshore wind tech.
- Conference Program: Thematic tracks covering:
- Renewables & Hydrogen: Oman’s $10 billion green hydrogen projects.
- Digital Transformation: AI, IoT, and automation in upstream/downstream operations.
