KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 (Bernama) — Although green transitions are accelerating worldwide, the oil and gas (O&G) and energy sectors have continued to play a vital role, said Informa Markets Malaysia Sdn Bhd chairman Tan Sri Rahman Abdul Mamat.
Citing the International Energy Agency, he said Southeast Asia is on course to account for a quarter of global energy demand growth between now and 2035, and by mid-century, the region’s energy demand will overtake that of the European Union.
“This is where growth is happening; this is where solutions must scale; and the Oil and Gas Asia 2025 (OGA 2025) is where those conversations and decisions accelerate,” he said in his welcome remarks at OGA 2025, here today.
OGA 2025, Southeast Asia’s premier energy business platform, opened its 21st edition today, attracting industry leaders, companies and professionals eager to capture new opportunities in the region’s fast-growing energy landscape.
Held from Sept 2-4, 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, the event is held with the theme “Powering Progress, Shaping Tomorrow” as the region seeks to strengthen economic integration with energy as a key cornerstone under Malaysia’s chairmanship of ASEAN this year.
In a statement, Informa Markets Malaysia said this year’s exhibition spans 20,000 square metres, featuring more than 2,000 brands and companies from 72 countries, including eight international pavilions representing the United Kingdom, China, Singapore, South Korea, India, Italy, Germany, and the United States.
“Last year, OGA attracted more than 36,000 trade visitors from 72 countries, generating an estimated US$52 million in potential business.
“With ASEAN’s rising energy demand, OGA 2025 is set to further strengthen its role as the region’s defining platform for collaboration and progress,” it said.
