The **22nd edition of OGA**, taking place from **2 to 4 September 2026 **at the**
Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre**, is co-located with the **Malaysian Oil, Gas & 
Energy Services Exhibition & Conference (MOGSEC)** and **EIC Connect OGA**. Together,
the three platforms bring Malaysian OGSE capabilities, international project opportunities,
technology, investment and industry expertise into closer contact.

The joint opening was officiated by **PETRONAS President and Group Chief Executive
Officer Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik**, alongside **Informa Markets Malaysia Chairman
Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Mamat**, **Energy Industries Council (EIC) Regional Director,
Asia Pacific Syed Saggaf Syed Ahmad**, **Malaysian Oil, Gas & Energy Services Council(
MOGSC) President Zahris Sham Abu Musa** and **Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation(
MPRC) President and Chief Executive Officer Mohd Yazid Jaafar**.

For **Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Mamat, Chairman of Informa Markets Malaysia**, the value
of OGA lies in bringing companies, capabilities and markets together at a time when
the energy industry is undergoing significant change.

"OGA connects businesses with decision-makers, technology providers with potential
users, investors with opportunities, and Malaysian companies with regional and international
markets. And very often, a conversation that begins here can lead to a partnership,
an investment or a new business opportunity," said **Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Mamat**.

The commercial potential of such connections was demonstrated at **OGA 2025**, which
attracted more than **33,000 attendees from 81 countries** and **2,000 participating
brands and companies**, generating **US$42.17 million in reported potential business
for exhibitors**.

OGA 2026 is expected to attract more than **30,000 trade attendees**, alongside **
2,000 participating brands and companies, more than 40 industry speakers and eight
international pavilions** from **Australia, China, Germany, India, Italy, Singapore,
South Korea **and** the United Kingdom**. Notably, **35% of exhibitors are new to
OGA this year**, bringing a wider mix of companies and capabilities to this year’s
edition.

The international profile of the event is further strengthened by a **new pavilion
from Western Australia**, bringing additional companies, capabilities and perspectives
to OGA. The event is also collaborating with **Timor-Leste**, strengthening links
with an emerging energy market and creating another avenue for cooperation.

The participation of new and international players is supported by **PETRONAS**,
as Corporate Sponsor, and **Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC)**, as
National OGSE Development Partner. For Malaysia’s OGSE sector, stronger regional
and international links are increasingly important as companies seek to build capabilities,
adopt new technologies and identify new markets.

"For MPRC, being the National OGSE Development Partner at OGA 2026 gives us an opportunity
to bring Government and industry closer and move forward together on an important
conversation: Not just about where the oil and gas services industry is today, but
about where Malaysian companies will find their next source of growth." said **Mohd
Yazid Jaafar, President and CEO of MPRC**.

That focus on domestic capability is reflected in **MOGSEC**, which returns for 
its **eighth edition**, co-organised with **MOGSC**. Bringing together emerging**
companies from Malaysia’s OGSE sector**, MOGSEC puts local capabilities in the spotlight,
creating opportunities for service providers to showcase their expertise and connect
with regional and international stakeholders. Its **SME Pavilion** further provides
a dedicated platform for smaller companies to build connections and pursue new business
opportunities.

The international business dimension is strengthened through **EIC Connect OGA**,
delivered in partnership with the **Energy Industries Council**. The platform brings
international energy companies, technology providers and service organisations together
to explore **project pipelines, market intelligence, investment opportunities and
potential partnerships**, with a focus on markets including **Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei
and Indonesia**.

Beyond the exhibition floor, OGA’s conference and knowledge programme, including
the **SPEAK OGA C-Suite Series**, brings industry leaders, technical experts and
policymakers together to examine market developments, operational efficiency, digital
transformation, energy transition, talent development and emerging technologies,
with a focus on how businesses are responding to a changing operating environment.

**OGA Industry Plus**, supported by **SBM International Trading FZCO**, further 
expands industry engagement by encouraging broader participation and peer-to-peer
networking across the energy community.

Across the three days, OGA 2026 will also host a series of targeted business engagements,
leadership roundtables, investment forums, talent sessions and technical dialogues,
bringing together stakeholders from specific markets, sectors and communities across
the wider energy ecosystem.

The event is supported by industry partners across the energy value chain, including**
Platinum Sponsors Velesto Energy **and** EPIC Berhad; Gold Sponsors Octave **and**
ANP; Silver Sponsors Yokogawa, MHH Condition Monitoring Sdn Bhd **and **Vantris 
Energy Berhad; General Sponsors ENE Petro Services Sdn Bhd, FPT Corporation, Prometheus
Group and KMIRA; **and** OGA Industry Plus sponsor SBM International Trading FZCO**.

**OGA 2026** continues at the **Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre until 4 September**,
bringing together the regional energy community for three days of business, industry
dialogue and technology showcase.
