Sichuan Petroleum Equipment Supporting Enterprises Debut at ADIPEC 2026

On November 2, 2026 (local time), the 42nd Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2026) opened at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre in the UAE. Under the unified deployment of the Department of Commerce of Sichuan Province, the Sichuan International Business Development Promotion Association organized a delegation of more than 20 Sichuan petroleum equipment manufacturing and technical service enterprises to exhibit as a group. Supported by the "Sichuan Going Global" (Chuan Xing Tian Xia) policy, these enterprises are deepening their presence in the Middle East market, showcasing "Made in Sichuan" petroleum drilling and production equipment and technologies across an exhibition area of over 200 square meters, engaging with upstream and downstream companies in the global oil and gas industry chain to exchange ideas and seek cooperation.

As a globally recognized top-tier industry event and bellwether for the energy sector, this year's ADIPEC brought together resources from across the entire oil and gas industry chain. The total exhibition area reached 160,000 square meters, attracting more than 2,250 exhibitors from around the world, with professional visitors and attendees expected to exceed 239,000. In conjunction with the exhibition, 13 thematic conferences and forums were held, gathering over 1,800 heavyweight industry guests to share cutting-edge insights and attracting more than 16,500 conference delegates for in-depth participation. The topics comprehensively covered upstream exploration and development, midstream storage, transportation and refining, downstream scenario applications, as well as frontier tracks such as CCUS, hydrogen energy, digital transformation, and sustainable energy development. During the exhibition, more than 100 supporting activities were rolled out, including 13 thematic summits, closed-door leader dialogues, frontier technology launch events, one-on-one precise business matchmaking, and key project roadshows. In-depth discussions centered on core issues such as energy security, digitalization of the oil and gas industry, carbon capture, utilization and storage, hydrogen industrialization, and sustainable development, driving precise supply-demand matching and project implementation.

The more than 20 Sichuan enterprises participating in this exhibition come from Chengdu, Deyang, Luzhou, and other cities. Their exhibits range from downhole tools to surface equipment, from complete machines to key components, and from equipment manufacturing to process technologies, spanning the entire oil and gas drilling and production workflow. These include drill bits, screw motors, mud motors and supporting tools for drilling; downhole tools for drilling and workover, diamond drill bits, and pure electric setting and fishing tools; as well as large equipment such as drilling rigs, mud pumps, and top drives, along with electronic control systems, grid power systems, and wellsite power systems for petroleum drilling rigs. The exhibits also feature fluid control products such as solid control system purification equipment, solid-phase control equipment for oil-based drilling fluids, valves, plugs, safety valves, and scrapers; key basic components such as cemented carbide seal rings, bushings, nozzles, and high-strength bolts, studs, and nuts; and lithium batteries, measurement-while-drilling (MWD) instruments, as well as process technologies including pressure swing adsorption gas separation, C1 chemistry, and synthesis gas.

It is understood that the global oil and gas industry is currently accelerating its transition toward green, low-carbon, digital, and intelligent development. Demand continues to rise for high-performance drilling and production equipment and professional services in areas such as deep oil and gas exploration and development, stable production and efficiency enhancement of mature oilfields, and equipment upgrading. The Middle East is rich in oil and gas resources, with stable demand for oil and gas engineering construction and equipment supporting services—highly aligned with Sichuan's industrial advantages in petroleum drilling and production equipment manufacturing, downhole tools, electrical control, and key basic components. Leveraging the international platform of ADIPEC, Sichuan enterprises can engage directly with oil and gas operators, engineering contractors, and buyers from the Middle East and around the world, conducting in-depth docking in areas such as technology display, product selection, and project cooperation. This brings important opportunities for Sichuan enterprises to deeply integrate into the global oil and gas industry chain and expand into Middle Eastern and overseas markets.

This group participation is an important measure for Sichuan's petroleum equipment industry to leverage a top international exhibition and accelerate its pace of "going global." It not only effectively enhances the international visibility and brand influence of "Made in Sichuan" petroleum equipment, but also accumulates valuable experience for local enterprises in grasping global energy transition trends and aligning with international technical standards and market demand.

In the next step, the Sichuan International Business Development Promotion Association will continue to implement the "Sichuan Going Global" policy, focus on the overseas expansion needs of Sichuan's advantageous industries, build more high-quality international economic and trade exchange platforms, support more Sichuan petroleum equipment supporting enterprises in entering the global market, deeply participate in international industrial division of labor and cooperation, and contribute to the high-quality development of Sichuan's oil and gas equipment industry.
