CIPPE

CIPPE is an acronym that can refer to several entities and events, but the most widely known use is the China International Petroleum & Petrochemical Exposition, a major international trade show for the petroleum and chemical industries held in China. The exposition brings together equipment suppliers, service providers, and technology vendors serving upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. Exhibits typically cover drilling and production equipment, refining and petrochemical processing technologies, safety and environmental systems, digital oilfield solutions, and related engineering services. In addition to the exhibition, CIPPE usually features conference programs, technical seminars, and business matchmaking sessions designed to facilitate partnerships, procurement, and investment.

The event is organized by a major trade fair organizer in collaboration with industry associations and government bodies. It has attracted participants from Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas and is often held in a large Chinese city known for hosting international trade events. The CIPPE format emphasizes market access, knowledge transfer, and networking opportunities for national oil companies, international operators, EPC contractors, service firms, and financial institutions.

Beyond this exposition, CIPPE can refer to other organizations, programs, or projects that use the same acronym in different contexts. This article primarily describes the well-known oil and petrochemical trade exposition, with a note to consult disambiguation resources for other uses.
