Message from the organiser
On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 13th Sabah Oil, Gas & Energy Conference & Exhibition (SOGCE 2026), taking place on 25–26 June 2026 at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), Kota Kinabalu.
Organised under the theme “Fueling the Future: Driving Energy Innovation for Sustainable Growth,” SOGCE 2026 reflects the accelerating transformation of the global energy landscape and Sabah’s strategic determination to position itself as a competitive, resilient and forward-looking energy hub.
Following the recent State Election, Sabah’s oil, gas and energy sector continues on a positive trajectory, underpinned by strong policy continuity through the Sabah Energy Roadmap and Masterplan 2040 (SE-RAMP 2040). The growing participation of Sabahan vendors—now representing approximately 36% of total oil and gas contract value—together with increasing investments in energy infrastructure, downstream development and clean energy initiatives, signals strong confidence in Sabah’s long-term energy potential. In this context, SOGCE plays a complementary role in supporting the State Government by providing a platform where policy direction, industry capability, innovation and investment converge.
Since its inception in 2012, SOGCE has evolved into Sabah’s premier and longest-running oil, gas and energy event, growing in tandem with industry developments, state priorities and global energy shifts—from conventional petroleum development to today’s emphasis on digitalisation, low-carbon pathways, energy transition and sustainable growth. Each edition is thematically curated to ensure relevance, impact and alignment with the needs of industry stakeholders.
The SOGCE 2026 Conference Programme has been carefully designed to reflect Sabah’s strategic energy ambitions and industry priorities:
Day One – Strategic Direction & Energy Transformation
The conference opens with high-level policy perspectives and strategic insights on Sabah’s integrated energy future, global energy outlooks and the role of oil and gas in the energy transition. Executive plenary discussions will address investment readiness, grid modernisation, renewable expansion and energy security, while afternoon sessions focus on upstream and offshore operational excellence, innovation, safety and asset integrity. The day concludes with an important dialogue on building an energy-skilled Sabah, emphasising talent development, TVET alignment, certification and workforce transition.
Day Two – Investment, Technology & Collaboration
Day Two turns the spotlight on technology-driven innovation, exploring the impact of AI, big data and digitalisation on energy efficiency, profitability and talent. Dedicated sessions on local vendor empowerment will examine how Sabahan companies can strengthen their role in the energy supply chain, followed by in-depth discussions on industrial development and investment opportunities across oil & gas, clean energy and downstream sectors. The conference culminates in a special Government–Industry Collaboration Roundtable, aligning policy, industry needs, human capital development and local content aspirations towards Sabah’s 2040 energy vision.
Beyond knowledge-sharing, SOGCE is widely recognised as a practical business platform. It is where industry players network, form partnerships, sign agreements, explore investments and even host their own meetings and side programmes in conjunction with the event—an aspect we are particularly proud of, as it reflects the trust, relevance and value SOGCE brings to the industry.
Signature highlights such as industry visits, the Energy Insight Hub, SOGCE Networking Golf, Talents & Youth Initiatives and the Young Professionals Programme further reinforce SOGCE’s role in fostering collaboration, inspiring future talent and creating meaningful industry connections.
As a proudly Sabahan-owned and multi-award-winning organiser, Midas Events Management—under Falconet Resources Sdn Bhd—remains committed to supporting the Sabah State Government in advancing its industrial, entrepreneurship and energy agenda, while positioning Sabah as a destination of choice for oil, gas and energy investments.
We warmly invite policymakers, industry leaders, investors, technology providers, service companies and young professionals to be part of SOGCE 2026. Together, let us fuel the future by driving innovation, strengthening collaboration and shaping a sustainable energy landscape for Sabah and beyond.
We look forward to welcoming you to SOGCE 2026 in Kota Kinabalu.
