Beijing, China — The 27th China International Petroleum and Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition (cippe 2027) will be held on March 17-19, 2027 at the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall) in Beijing. Known as the "World Petroleum Equipment Conference," cippe is the largest upstream oil and gas trade show in Asia and one of the top three oil equipment exhibitions globally.
The 2026 edition (cippe 2026) occupied 120,000 square meters across multiple halls, hosting over 2,000 exhibitors from 81 countries and welcoming professional visitors from every major oil-producing region on Earth. For anyone sourcing drilling rigs, well equipment, OCTG (oil country tubular goods), or oilfield services from China, cippe is the unmissable annual event.
cippe spans the entire upstream oil and gas value chain:
Drilling equipment: Onshore and offshore drilling rigs (500m to 9000m depth), workover rigs, ZJ series rigs, coiled tubing units, and mud logging units. Chinese builders like BOMCO (Baoji Oilfield Machinery), Honghua Group, and SJ Petroleum Machinery all showcase their latest models.
Downhole and completion: Drill bits (tricone, PDC), downhole motors, casing and tubing, wellhead equipment, blowout preventers (BOP), fracturing equipment, and wireline tools.
Production and processing: Pumpjacks, artificial lift systems, separators, heat exchangers, gas processing units, and refinery equipment.
Digital and green energy: The 2026 show added dedicated zones for CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage), geothermal drilling equipment, and AI-powered reservoir monitoring — reflecting the energy transition trend.
Chinese oilfield equipment manufacturers have come a long way in the past decade. BOMCO and Honghua now export drilling rigs to the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and Southeast Asia at price points 30-50% below Western competitors, with API-certified quality. At cippe, you can compare everything from 1000m truck-mounted water well rigs to 7000m desert drilling rigs in one location.
For drilling rig buyers specifically: cippe is where you will find the largest concentration of Chinese drilling rig manufacturers — including water well drilling rigs, exploration rigs, and HDD rigs — all under one roof. Many companies also display their export catalogs in English and have English-speaking sales staff on site.
cippe runs a dedicated international buyer reception program. Pre-registered overseas buyers can qualify for free hotel accommodation, airport pickup, and guided factory visits before or after the show. The exhibition also hosts daily matchmaking sessions between international procurement delegations and Chinese manufacturers.
The 2026 show featured national pavilions and buyer delegations from Russia, Argentina, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia — reflecting China's growing role as an oilfield equipment supplier to non-Western markets.
Beijing in March is cold (around 5-15 degrees Celsius), but the exhibition center is fully heated. Plan to spend at least two full days at cippe — the show is so large that you cannot cover it in one day. If you are sourcing drilling rigs specifically, allocate extra time to the water well and exploration rig zone, which is often located in a separate hall from the giant oil rigs.
We supply water well drilling rigs, exploration core rigs, HDD rigs, and DTH rigs with factory-direct pricing, DDP shipping, and after-sales support to 80+ countries.
