Malaysia Hosts Landmark Offshore Summit: OAP2025 Bridges Digitalization, Decarbonization, and Deepwater Growth

Kuala Lumpur, 25 February 2025 — The 25th Offshore Asia Pacific Summit & Exhibition + FPS Malaysia (OAP2025) was successfully held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 24 to 25 February 2025. Under the theme Collaboration for the Future: Accelerating Transformation in Offshore Exploration, Development, and Floating Production Systems across the Asia-Pacific, the event brought together executives from over 30 global energy giants, 20+ exhibitors, and 350+ industry leaders to chart a path for innovation and transformation in the offshore energy sector.

Spotlight on Industry Transformation and Future Opportunities

As an influential offshore oil and gas forum in the Asia-Pacific region, OAP2025 delved into three core trends shaping the industry: decarbonization, digitalization, and operational efficiency. Amid mounting pressures from the global energy transition and rising regional energy demands, the sector emphasized the urgent need for technological innovation and international collaboration to achieve sustainable growth. Keynote speakers from industry leaders such as PETRONAS, MODEC, PTTEP, Shapoorji Pallonji Energy, Yinson, and Wison New Energies shared cutting-edge insights, innovative technologies, and practical experiences in offshore exploration, development, and floating production systems (FPS). Breakthroughs in next-gen exploration technologies and optimized FPS solutions sparked vigorous discussions, with participants reaching a consensus: Technological advancements and large-scale adoption of FPS will unlock deepwater hydrocarbon resources, while accelerating the integration of green energy solutions into traditional oil and gas operations.

Exhibitors Gather to Showcase Technological Breakthroughs

The conference also featured an exhibition zone with 20+ global industry leaders showcasing their latest products and solutions in FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading), underwater robotics, intelligent monitoring systems, and more. Attendees explored advanced exploration equipment, high-efficiency production systems, and smart management platforms, fostering dynamic exchanges and collaboration opportunities to inject fresh momentum into the sector.

OAP2025: A Prelude to the Offshore Engineering & Equipment Global Exhibition

Notably, OAP2025 served as the Malaysian chapter and opening act for the Offshore Engineering & Equipment Global Exhibition (OEEG), laying the groundwork for its grand follow-up in Shanghai from 15 to 17 October 2025. The upcoming OEEG will co-host the 12th FPSO&FLNG&FSRU Global Summit, Floating Offshore Wind Global Summit, and LNG Carriers Global Summit, drawing global attention to offshore engineering. The event will spotlight pioneering technologies, innovative ideas, and partnership opportunities to propel the industry to new heights.

Driving Global Offshore Energy Forward

OAP2025 not only established a premier platform for collaboration in the Asia-Pacific offshore energy sector but also charted a roadmap for the global industry’s future. By fostering innovation and cooperation, the conference empowered stakeholders to tackle challenges collectively and usher in a brighter tomorrow for offshore energy. With shared efforts, the Asia-Pacific region is poised to lead transformative advancements in offshore exploration, development, and floating production systems. Meanwhile, China’s offshore engineering supply chain is set to shine even brighter on the global stage, driving progress across the industry.
