Dear Industry Colleagues,
On behalf of the Symposium Committee, it is our privilege to invite you to the SPE Symposium: Asia Pacific Deepwater, scheduled to take place from 22–23 September 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Under the theme, “Innovation and Collaboration to Advance Deepwater Frontiers,” this symposium will focus on the pivotal trends and technical drivers shaping the future of the deepwater industry.
As the energy sector undergoes a profound transformation, the deepwater industry stands at the forefront of navigating complex challenges while capitalising on emerging opportunities. Malaysia is actively enhancing its deepwater exploration and production capabilities, positioning itself as a key player in the region’s energy ecosystem. Globally, the industry continues to witness robust investment, with annual deepwater capital expenditures reaching $60–70 billion. This scale of investment highlights the critical role of innovation and collaboration in advancing deepwater exploration and production.
Energy companies are also adopting strategic diversification, investing in frontier areas to balance risk and ensure long-term production capacity. This shift is redefining traditional approaches to exploration and production, enabling operators to adapt to an evolving energy landscape.
The programme will be meticulously crafted to address the critical needs of today’s market, including advancements in subsea systems, digitalisation for real-time decision-making, and well design innovations for HPHT conditions. Strategies for optimising reservoir performance, cost reduction, and risk mitigation, alongside efforts to achieve decarbonisation in deepwater operations, will also be key discussion points. Participants will gain actionable insights through keynote presentations, technical sessions, and interactive panel discussions.
Moreover, this event offers a valuable platform to exchange ideas, showcase successes, and foster partnerships that advance the region’s deepwater capabilities. Stakeholders from operators, service providers, regulatory agencies, and academia are invited to contribute their expertise and perspectives, ensuring a comprehensive and dynamic conversation.
Join us at the SPE Symposium: Asia Pacific Deepwater and be part of the transformative dialogue that will shape the future of deepwater exploration and production in the Asia Pacific region. Your participation is key to building a resilient, innovative, and sustainable industry.
Thank you, and we eagerly look forward to welcoming you to Kuala Lumpur for a rewarding and insightful experience.
