The Indonesia Petroleum & Natural Gas Expo (IPA) is the most authoritative oil and gas exhibition in Indonesia and even in Southeast Asia. It creates more transaction intentions for participating enterprises and provides a broader international trade platform for exhibitors to directly face the main buyers and decision-makers of the Indonesian oil and gas energy market.

The previous edition of the Indonesia International Petroleum & Natural Gas Expo (IPA) covered an area of 23,000 square meters, with 478 participating companies from China, Japan, Malaysia, Dubai, South Korea, Germany, Turkey, Russia, Iran, the United States, Brazil, Singapore, etc., and the number of participants reached 30,000 people.

Indonesia is an important oil and gas producer in the Asia-Pacific region, once an OPEC member country in Asia, and has long been the second-largest oil and gas producer in the region. Most of the oil is exported to Asian Pacific countries and the United States. Due to the continuous rise in the prices of oil and natural gas, Indonesia needs to expand its production level to adapt to economic development. A series of measures taken by Indonesia have created many opportunities in the oil industry. Many new oil fields will begin production, in addition, much attention is focused on potential large oil fields in eastern Indonesia.

The challenges faced by the Indonesian oil industry will require technology to sustain its survival. The Indonesia International Petroleum & Natural Gas Expo (IPA) lays a good foundation for Chinese enterprises to enter the vast markets of Indonesia and ASEAN.
