The Asia Petroleum Geoscience Conference & Exhibition (APGCE) brings together leading minds, innovators, and decision-makers from across the global geoscience community.
With the theme “Geoscience Across Life of Field: From First Discovery to Last Recovery”, APGCE 2026 celebrates the enduring role of geoscience across the entire life of a field — from exploration to production, through to enhanced recovery and responsible transition.
We hope to see you there!

Panel: Basin to breakthrough: Delivering faster, lower-cost and lower-carbon exploration
Session moderator: Dr. Andrew Latham, Senior Vice President, Energy Research at Wood Mackenzie. Panellists:
As exploration strategies evolve, operators are under increasing pressure to deliver commercial discoveries faster, at lower cost, and with a reduced carbon footprint. This panel brings together senior exploration leaders from key operators and industry analysts to discuss how geoscience is enabling more efficient decision-making—from basin screening through to discovery and early development.
The discussion will focus on how integrated subsurface workflows, disciplined portfolio management, and strategic collaboration are helping companies accelerate time-to-first-oil while maintaining capital efficiency and emissions awareness. With insights from recent APAC and global discoveries, the panel will highlight what is practically working today to deliver faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective exploration outcomes.
