The 12th edition of SOGCE is scheduled on 3rd and 4th July 2025. ​​

​

SOGCE 2025 is themed around business development within the context of sustainability, particularly during the ongoing energy transition. It emphasises how partnerships and collaborations can create value, opportunities, and advantages for the OGSE industry, Sabah, and its economy. The business conference will offer insights on "collaboration and co-creation in new opportunities for sustainable growth" and "Catalysing local economic growth", where discussions will focus on industrial development, financing, talent development, and technology, and their effects on the OGSE sector.

​

The business conference also features plenary session on the "Emergence of Blue Economy", examining how Sabah can utilise its coastal and maritime resources to boost the local economy and sustain growth. Considering that oceans and seas make up more than two-thirds of the Earth's surface, the Blue Economy presents a revolutionary economic model with enormous possibilities for resource exploitation, employment, and innovation.

​

The World Bank describes the Blue Economy as the "sustainable utilisation of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and job creation, while conserving the health of the ocean ecosystem."

​

Another significant plenary session, titled "Sustainability Pathways," will explore crucial issues including the circular economy, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) frameworks, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and their societal effects. The goal of these discussions is to underscore the routes to sustainable development and societal prosperity that align with the objectives of the global energy transition.

​

We invite representatives from oil, gas, and energy companies, supply industries, technology experts, and policymakers to join us. The rapid changes brought about by the energy transition are opening new avenues for energy players to redefine their operations and offerings while committing to corrective climate actions. However, this transition must be approached through just and responsible pathways.
