- About to REGPI 2026-

The International Conference on Resource Exploration, Geography and Petroleum Industry in 2026 (REGPI 2026) will be held grandly in Dalian, an important energy hub and coastal city in northern China. This conference focuses on the deep integration of mineral and oil and gas resource exploration, geographic information technology, and the development of the petroleum industry. It is committed to building a high-level, interdisciplinary international academic exchange platform, gathering experts, scholars, researchers, energy enterprise technical representatives, and government energy department managers in the fields of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing technology, petroleum engineering, energy economics, and environmental science. The conference will conduct in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics such as new exploration methods for oil and gas and strategic mineral resources under complex geological conditions, high-precision seismic imaging and intelligent logging technology, key technologies for shale gas and deep-sea oil and gas development, integrated application of GIS and remote sensing in resource assessment and environmental monitoring, digital oil fields and intelligent drilling systems, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) practices in the petroleum industry, technologies for improving oil recovery in old oil fields, sustainable development paths of the petroleum industry under the background of energy transformation, ecological environment protection and restoration in resource development, safe operation and risk management of offshore oil platforms, etc. Through various forms such as keynote speeches, thematic forums, paper presentations, technology exhibitions, and case studies, we aim to promote efficient resource development driven by technological innovation and facilitate the green and low-carbon transformation of the traditional petroleum industry. REGPI 2026 emphasizes the core concept of "exploring technological sources, empowering geography, and promoting green development", and is committed to enhancing China's energy and resource security capabilities, serving the country's "dual carbon" strategy and modernization of the energy system. The high-quality papers accepted by the conference will be recommended for publication in relevant international journals indexed by SCI, EI, or Scopus, expanding the academic influence of research results.
