The Latin American and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference (LACPEC 2026) returns to Brazil to bring together the region’s most influential technical experts. From June 9-11, 2026, the Windsor Barra Hotel in Rio de Janeiro will be the epicenter where exploration and production strategies for the next decade will be defined.

Why attend LACPEC 2026? Organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), LACPEC is the region’s premier technical event. This year, under the theme “Engineering Opportunities: Technologies Shaping the Energy Landscape,” the conference will focus on how technical innovation can unlock new reserves and optimize mature fields in an energy transition environment.

Program highlights:

  • Technical Depth Sessions: More than 100 peer-reviewed presentations covering reservoir, drilling, completion and data management.
  • Regional Strategic Focus: Panels dedicated to the development challenges in Vaca Muerta, the Brazilian pre-salt and the new frontiers in the Caribbean (Guyana and Suriname).
  • Innovation in Mature Fields: Enhanced Recovery Strategies (EOR) and asset revitalization to maximize the value of existing infrastructure (“New Life for Old Fields”).
  • Digitalization and Decarbonization: Practical solutions to reduce the carbon footprint in upstream operations through the use of artificial intelligence and automation.

Key Details:

  • Dates: June 9 to 11, 2026.
  • Location: Windsor Barra Hotel, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
  • Organizer: Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
  • Focus: Upstream, Offshore, Presalt, Reservoir and Well Technology.

If your work involves petroleum engineering or geoscience in Latin America, LACPEC 2026 is the indispensable forum for technical knowledge exchange and high-level networking.
