CIOOE 2026

CIOOE 2026 will be held on March 26–28, 2026 in Beijing at the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall), positioning the show as a three-day professional marketplace for the offshore oil and gas sector. The organizer highlights a large-scale format with around 120,000 sqm of exhibition space, 2,000 exhibitors and over 180,000 professional visitors from 75 countries and regions, supported by 18 international pavilions, which is especially relevant for procurement teams that need high supplier density and fast benchmarking across competing solutions. For visiting teams, this scale typically enables structured sourcing workflows: initial screening and category mapping on day one, technical and commercial deep-dives on day two, and final negotiation alignment with shortlisted suppliers on day three, while keeping all stakeholder meetings within a single venue.

CIOOE’s focus is built around offshore oil and gas development needs, where equipment selection must account for reliability, maintainability, corrosion exposure, safety requirements and project execution constraints. The official positioning emphasizes offshore oil equipment and related technical services, alongside natural gas-oriented technologies and solutions, which together reflect the practical interfaces between offshore field development, processing, transportation and supporting engineering. For buyers and project teams, this focus is useful when comparing suppliers not only by catalog specifications, but also by service capability, project references, delivery readiness and lifecycle support, since offshore projects typically involve longer maintenance cycles and higher HSE sensitivity than onshore operations. By attending within the cippe co-located ecosystem, visitors can also align offshore-specific sourcing with adjacent requirements such as automation, inspection, integrity management and specialized materials, improving the completeness of the vendor shortlist.

CIOOE 2026 is designed for professional audiences across the offshore oil and gas value chain, including operating companies, EPC contractors, OEM manufacturers, technology integrators and specialized service providers. For exhibitors, the show environment supports lead generation and partner development with both domestic and international stakeholders, while visitors gain a concentrated setting to validate supplier capability through in-person technical discussions, product demonstration review and rapid comparison of alternative engineering approaches. The concurrent event model further increases participant relevance, since offshore-focused meetings can be combined with broader oil and gas procurement agendas, which is especially practical for companies managing multi-discipline procurement, CAPEX projects and MRO supply continuity.

CIOOE’s exhibit profile is oriented toward technologies, equipment and services used in offshore oil and gas development, with an emphasis on solutions that can be evaluated against real operational KPIs such as uptime, safety performance, corrosion resistance and maintainability. The official scope highlights offshore oil equipment and technology services and includes natural gas-related solutions, which indicates coverage that is relevant to offshore production systems, supporting engineering, and associated processing and supply-chain requirements. For procurement teams, this format supports both supplier discovery and supplier validation, because it enables side-by-side comparison of comparable offers, clarifies what is included in service delivery, and helps align equipment selection with project timelines, commissioning demands and long-term maintenance responsibilities.

The venue for CIOOE 2026 is China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall) in Beijing, a location commonly used for the spring oil and gas exhibition cluster and therefore suitable for multi-day technical visits and structured meeting agendas. The published visitor guidance states that entry is managed with professional registration rules and that access is time-bound relative to daily closing, which is important for scheduling supplier meetings, delegation arrivals and hall coverage, especially on the final day when teams typically need to consolidate negotiations and confirm follow-up plans. From a planning perspective, teams attending for sourcing and qualification benefit from allocating time blocks per hall and per technology theme, ensuring that procurement, engineering and HSE stakeholders can jointly evaluate suppliers and reduce rework after returning from the show.

CIOOE is organized within the Zhenwei exhibition ecosystem that also operates the co-located cippe cluster, enabling consistent visitor services and a unified industry-facing event structure. The official event introduction lists the exhibition name, dates and venue for the 26th edition and identifies Zhenwei as the organizing entity, while the co-located cluster information further reinforces the organizer framework and the broader industry support environment around the Beijing spring oil and gas exhibitions. For exhibitors and visitors, this organizer model typically translates into stronger buyer acquisition through industry channels, more predictable show operations, and higher concentration of professional decision-makers relevant to offshore projects and associated procurement.
