We are pleased to welcome you back to Atyrau, Kazakhstan, for the 2026 edition of the SPE Annual Caspian Technical Conference—our premier technical gathering for upstream professionals across the Caspian region. The conference brings together industry leaders, operators, service companies, and technology providers to exchange knowledge on the latest technical developments across the full upstream value chain.
Recognised as one of the leading technical forums in the Caspian Basin, the event features rigorously peer-reviewed technical papers, expert-led panel discussions, and high-level networking opportunities with E&P professionals.
The 2026 programme will place particular emphasis on exploration and subsurface characterisation, drilling and well construction, mature field management and IOR/EOR, gas development and processing, midstream and surface facilities, as well as the growing role of digital technologies and AI in improving operational performance.
Returning to Atyrau—Kazakhstan’s energy capital and a key hub for upstream activity—the conference provides a unique platform to engage directly with the region’s energy community, strengthen collaboration, and advance technical solutions that support efficient, safe, and responsible resource development.
