02-03 September 2026
New Delhi
Starting at 09:00 hrs. (IST)
India’s energy sector is entering a decisive decade, driven by the need to balance energy security, sustainability, and economic growth. As one of the fastest-growing energy markets, India continues to rely on oil and gas while accelerating its transition toward decarbonization and cleaner energy solutions. The focus is shifting toward efficient hydrocarbon production, asset optimization, and sustainable operations, especially across mature fields and complex reservoirs.
Chemistry and specialty chemicals in oil & gas play a critical role in this transformation. Across upstream operations, advanced solutions such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), corrosion control, scale inhibition, and flow assurance are improving production efficiency, extending asset life, and reducing environmental impact. In downstream and refining, innovations in catalysis, process chemicals, and fuel optimization are enabling higher yields, cleaner fuels, and compliance with stringent environmental regulations.
Key priorities such as water management, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), digitalization, and automation in oil & gas are driving operational excellence. Advanced chemical technologies are enabling efficient water treatment, reuse, and sustainability, supporting both upstream and refinery operations.
India is also witnessing rapid growth in biofuels, compressed biogas (CBG), green hydrogen, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS)—all powered by innovations in chemical engineering, material science, and process technology. These initiatives are central to achieving net-zero goals, energy transition, and Atmanirbhar Bharat (energy self-reliance).
In this dynamic landscape, the 9th International Oil & Gas Chemistry, Chemicals and Additives Conference & Exhibition (IOGCA 2026) serves as a leading platform for oil & gas professionals, chemical experts, researchers, and technology providers. The conference will showcase latest trends in oilfield chemicals, process innovations, sustainable technologies, and digital transformation in energy, enabling knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration.
Join IOGCA 2026 to explore how chemistry, innovation, and advanced technologies are shaping the future of the oil & gas industry and energy transition in India.
