Who this event is for

New this edition

• 1

  —

  Recent editions of the Perth show have widened the floor and conference agenda beyond conventional upstream work to cover emissions reduction, hydrogen and carbon capture pilot technology, and lower-carbon production equipment. Confirm the exact 2027 feature zones with the organiser.

• 2

  —

  With several Australasian fields moving into late life, plugging and abandonment, heavy lift, waste handling and brownfield tie-in services have become a visible exhibitor category at the show rather than a niche sideline. Treat this as directional for the upcoming edition.

• 3

  —

  Australian operators place heavy emphasis on local content and supplier qualification, so recent programmes have included sessions aimed at contractors seeking pre-qualification and joint-venture routes into Western Australian projects. Session specifics for 2027 are published on aogexpo.com.au.

Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Upstream

The exploration and production end of the oil and gas chain: seismic and geological work, exploration drilling, and the wells, platforms and gathering lines that bring raw hydrocarbons to the surface. Most upstream equipment discussion at AOG Energy centres on drilling, completions and well integrity.

2

LNG

Liquefied natural gas - gas cooled to about minus 162 C so it can be shipped. Australia is a major LNG exporter and much of the Perth-based engineering and services sector exists to support LNG trains, loading terminals and their maintenance.

3

FLNG

Floating liquefied natural gas: a vessel that liquefies gas offshore so a field can be developed without a pipeline to shore. FLNG work packages combine topside process modules with marine and mooring engineering.

4

Subsea

Equipment installed on the seabed - trees, manifolds, flowlines, umbilicals and control systems - used when a field is produced without a surface platform above each well. Subsea suppliers at the show typically sell hardware plus installation and intervention support.

5

FPSO

Floating production, storage and offloading vessel. Crude is processed on deck and stored in the hull for tanker transfer, a common development route for offshore fields in the region.

6

Wellhead

The surface or subsea assembly at the top of a well that holds pressure and provides the connection point for drilling, completion and production equipment, including the christmas tree.

7

OCTG

Oil country tubular goods: the casing, tubing and drill pipe threaded products run into a well. Buyers compare steel grade, connection type, corrosion resistance and delivery lead times.

8

Topside

The deck-mounted process, power and utility modules on a platform or FPSO, as distinct from the jacket or hull structure beneath them.

9

FEED

Front end engineering design: the pre-sanction study phase that fixes the technical concept and cost basis for a project. Equipment vendors often use the FEED window to get specified into a project.

10

EPC

Engineering, procurement and construction - the lump-sum contracting model used for many large energy facilities. EPC contractors and their subcontractors are the buyers that turn specifications into purchase orders.

11

Brownfield

Work on an existing facility rather than a new build: tie-ins, upgrades, late-life extension and debottlenecking. Brownfield scopes favour suppliers who can work inside live plants with tight shutdown windows.

12

Decommissioning

The planned removal or made-safe of wells, platforms and pipelines at end of field life. It is a growing Australasian workstream covering plugging and abandonment, heavy lift and waste management.

13

BOP

Blowout preventer: the stack of rams and annulars mounted on a wellhead during drilling that can seal the well if pressure control is lost. BOP certification, testing and recertification is a specialist service line.

14

HSE

Health, safety and environment - the compliance framework every exhibitor and visitor works under. On an energy show floor HSE shows up as equipment certification, hazardous-area ratings and site access requirements.
