Welcome to the Annual Petroleum Economics Conference 2025!

28-29 October 2025!
Vella, Stavanger

Welcome to the Annual Petroleum Economics Conference 2025!

 

The Annual Petroleum Economics Conference will, as always, provide the latest insights into macroeconomic and market developments relevant to exploration and production professionals. Some of our most respected analysts will return to share their extensive expertise with us.

This year, we will also delve into geopolitics. 🌏 The geopolitical landscape has grown increasingly complex and unpredictable over the past year. Conflicts have escalated into wars, and the prospect of a swift resolution remains slim. Additionally, uncertainty surrounding U.S. customs tariffs presents further challenges for the global economy and international cooperation.

Attendees will also benefit from engaging presentations on scenario methodology and how it can be applied to forecast and navigate an uncertain future.

Join us for a valuable opportunity to gain insights and connect with fellow industry professionals.

 

A very warm welcome!

 

On behalf of the organizing committee,

Inger Ubbe
