ADIPEC 2024

We had the pleasure of attending ADIPEC 2024 held in Abu Dhabi from November 4-7, the world’s most influential and impactful energy event, catapulting the energy industry into a new era of innovation and collaboration. Held under the theme of ‘Connecting Minds. Transforming Energy’, this year’s event broke multiple records and united sectors in an unprecedented push to accelerate energy transformation and drive sustainable socioeconomic growth.

ADIPEC 2024 drew a record-breaking 205,139 attendees from 172 countries, highlighting the UAE’s convening power and its role as a global hub for energy, technology and innovation. The event delivered more than US$10 billion in cross-sector deals, making it the most commercially successful edition to date and reflecting its crucial role in driving growth throughout the industry.

The ADIPEC Exhibition, across 16 halls, saw more than 2,250 exhibitors converge to develop the partnerships and strategies that will drive transformational change across the global energy ecosystem. Notable deals included ADNOC Drilling’s acquisition of a 95% stake in Deep Well Services for $223 million, TA’ZIZ’s award of over $2 billion for essential infrastructure at Al Ruwais Industrial City, and BGP Inc.’s new contract with ADNOC – worth $490 million – to expand the world’s largest 3D seismic survey in Abu Dhabi.

The ADIPEC Conferences featured four new conferences and 370-plus expert led sessions, which hosted leading figures from the energy, technology and finance sectors, as well as influential voices from the Global South and youth. This expansion reflected the event’s ever-widening focus on the breadth of opportunities and challenges emerging as the industry strives to accelerate the energy transition.
