This is the largest and longest established conference of its kind in Europe.
The SPE ICoTA European Well Intervention Conference is the largest and longest established Conference of its kind in Europe. This year's conference will take place on 11-12 November at the P&J Live, Aberdeen. focus on: From Proven Value to Greater Impact: Collaborating for Smarter Well Interventions
Deadline for Abstract Submissions – 17th July 2026
The well intervention landscape is evolving. Industry data continues to demonstrate strong economics, with the UKCS delivering 37.5 million barrels of oil equivalent annually through interventions and a compelling cost of just £9.60 per barrel. Targeted well intervention remains one of the most powerful tools for extending field life and maximising recovery from existing assets. Yet to minimise any decline in activity, the industry must act together.
This year's conference will focus on how proactive intervention delivery, and stronger industry collaboration can unlock restoration potential across the basin. We will explore how well intervention activity supports not only near-term production, but also long-term decommissioning outcomes, well integrity, and basin stewardship.
We invite abstracts on themes including:
Well restoration and reinstatement

Based on your feedback
This year the conference and exhibition will be side by side on the same floor, with an updated layout, increased focus on Operator participation and an updated programme.
"Last year’s keynote saw senior Operator leaders outline ambitious plans to ramp up intervention activity in 2026. This year, I’m eager to hear how those plans have delivered—new technologies deployed, successful applications of existing tools, stronger partnerships, and more barrels unlocked.The SPE/ICOTA European Well Intervention Conference continues to lead the way with high quality technical content, strong operator engagement, and outstanding exhibitors—all at exceptional value at less than half the cost of equivalent industry events."
Darren Paul, ICoTA Board member
"The SPE ICoTA European Well Intervention Conference is a real highlight for me. Getting so many people from the industry together to discuss issues being faced and the new technological solutions makes it a must-attend event. If you are thinking about joining ICoTA, don’t think, just do it! Come to the lunch and learns, submit abstracts for papers, meet new people. You get out of it what you put in, you won’t regret it!"
