The China International Petroleum & Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition – CPVF – is the flagship gathering for the oil & gas value chain in China and the wider Asia-Pacific region. Scheduled every March at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing, the 2025 edition will occupy 100,000 m² of indoor and outdoor space, uniting 1,800 exhibitors and 120,000 professional visitors from 65 countries. The event is jointly staged by the China Petroleum and Petrochemical Equipment Industry Association, the China Petroleum Enterprise Association and Zhenwei Exhibition, and is officially endorsed by the Ministry of Commerce.

CPVF 2025 is built around the theme “Intelligent, Low-Carbon, High-Quality” and is structured into eight dedicated halls: upstream exploration & production, mid-stream pipelines & storage, downstream refining & chemicals, offshore & marine engineering, natural gas & hydrogen, digital oilfield & automation, environmental protection & emission-reduction equipment, and a start-up zone for university spin-offs. More than 500 new products will have their world premieres, including 20,000-psi subsea BOP stacks, 3,000-hp fracturing pumps, small-scale modular LNG liquefaction skids, hydrogen diaphragm compressors rated at 1,000 bar, and AI-driven leak-detection suites for long-distance pipelines.

The three-day conference programme features 80 sessions. Highlights include the International Petroleum Summit with keynote ministerial addresses, the CEO Round-table on energy security and transition, the Digital Oilfield Forum on cloud-native SCADA and edge analytics, the Hydrogen & CCUS Forum covering policy road-maps and project financing, and the Offshore Technology Symposium on deep-water riser integrity. Confirmed speakers comprise senior executives from CNPC, Sinopec, CNOOC, PipeChina, BASF, Shell, Baker Hughes, Technip Energies, and the national oil companies of Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Indonesia. Academic input comes from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Tsinghua University and the University of Texas.

Parallel activities include a live equipment demonstration area where visitors can operate an automated drilling simulator, a buyer-seller matchmaking programme that pre-arranges 3,000 one-on-one meetings, and the Golden Eagle Awards honouring breakthrough technologies. The exhibition is strictly in-person; no virtual passes are offered. Entry is free after on-line registration, and shuttle buses link the venue with Capital A
