Join a Field-Results-Focused Hydraulic Fracturing Symposium in China
ECF FracX 2026: Hydraulic Fracturing Innovation Symposium will be held in Shanghai on October 22, 2026, as a featured technical programme of Energy China Forum 2026 — the 16th Asia-Pacific Unconventional Energy Conference.
The symposium will focus on one practical question:
How can hydraulic fracturing deliver more reliable, efficient and economical field results?
Rather than providing a general review of fracturing technologies, ECF FracX will examine how engineering design, completion systems, equipment, materials, monitoring technologies and operational practices can improve treatment reliability, production performance and field economics.
As unconventional oil and gas development increasingly moves towards low-permeability, deep and complex reservoirs, operators are evaluating fracturing technologies through measurable results. These include operating efficiency, non-productive time, treatment reliability, well integrity, production improvement, cost control and repeatable deployment across multiple wells or fields.
The symposium will bring together oil and gas operators, fracturing service companies, equipment manufacturers, completion and downhole tool suppliers, proppant and chemical companies, monitoring providers, digital technology companies, universities and research institutions.
Priority will be given to technical presentations and field cases supported by operating data, measurable efficiency gains, production results and economic indicators.
Why Sponsor and Participate?
