PetroPhase has been the conference where academy and industry meet to discuss their latest findings in: 

  • Petroleum Properties
  • Flow and Production Assurance
  • Upgrading and Fouling
  • Hydrogen and Renewables
  • CCUS
  • Emulsion and Produced Water Management

The 2024 edition of PetroPhase Conference returns to Mexico , with the Mayan city of Merida as its venue. PetroPhase has traditionally brought industry leaders and subject-matter experts, to a place to discuss the chemistry and properties of hydrocarbon fluids, and their impact on petroleum upgrading, fouling and production assurance. Because of the important energy transition and climate change issues required in this industry, the conference also includes sessions on hydrogen and renewable energies, decarbonization and energy integration. The focus of these new topics will still be in the​ subject area of the main PetroPhase theme of fluid properties, phase behavior and fouling.
