SPG 2025 Global Summit Set for Jaipur from October 26–28

Pink city Jaipur is set to host the 15th Biennial SPG 2025 Global Summit from October 26-28, 2025, at the Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre and Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre (JECC), bringing together global energy leaders and technology innovators. Under the theme “Rock to Cloud: Geo-Exploration Empowering Energy Evolution,” the summit convenes at a pivotal moment as India reinvigorates its deepwater exploration mission and expands its quest for new hydrocarbon frontiers to ensure long-term energy security. 

The summit is organised by the Society of Petroleum Geophysicists India (SPG), with the Chairman and CEO of ONGC serving as its Chief Patron.

With the country’s energy demand expected to nearly double by 2040, the upstream sector is focusing on unlocking new hydrocarbon basins and harnessing cutting-edge geophysical and AI-based exploration technologies. The SPG 2025 Global Summit will serve as a premier global platform for collaboration among energy leaders, scientists, and technologists driving India’s energy evolution. Over 700 delegates from more than 10 countries, including major global E&P companies and service providers, will participate. Leading organizations such as ONGC, ONGC Videsh, Oil India, Eliis, Dig Science, Baker Hughes, Shearwater, Sercel, Geosoftware, Beicip Franlab, Viridien , Emerson Aspentech and Solytics Partners will feature prominently.

India’s premier academic and research institutions will also be represented, including the IITs in Bombay, Madras, Roorkee, and Dhanbad, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Dibrugarh University, Andhra University, Banaras Hindu University, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, and Jadavpur University, among others. The event is further endorsed by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and the European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE).

The technical programme will cover the complete exploration spectrum—from seismic acquisition, imaging, and reservoir characterisation to digital geophysics, cloud-based analytics, and AI-driven subsurface modelling. Sessions will spotlight deepwater exploration breakthroughs, advances in seismic processing, and emerging geoscientific research. The SPG 2025 Exhibition will showcase state-of-the-art technologies, including AI-powered interpretation systems, data management platforms, and high-performance computing tools designed to enhance exploration efficiency and predictive accuracy.

Complementing the technical sessions, a dynamic business programme will include an exclusive “Meet the Industry” forum to facilitate meaningful partnerships. Post-Conference Continuing Education (CE) Courses, led by global experts, will provide specialised learning opportunities. Demonstrating its commitment to nurturing young talent, SPG will host a Geoscience Career Symposium (GCS) connecting leading energy companies with students from top institutes. The Student Spotlight section will feature a national quiz, extempore competitions, and interactive panels. A Geological Field Excursion will offer participants hands-on training in the stratigraphy of Indian basins.

Amid Jaipur’s heritage and charm, the summit will also include a vibrant Cultural Evening featuring classical and folk performances. A curated Spouse Programme will run alongside, offering sightseeing, wellness sessions, handicraft exploration, and culinary experiences for accompanying guests.

Building on the success of SPG 2023 in Kochi, which drew 48 major companies and strong participation from both Indian and global players, SPG 2025 promises to reinforce collaboration and innovation across the energy ecosystem.
