The International Workshop on Offshore Oil & Gas (OOG2026) serves as a dedicated technical platform exclusively for offshore oil and gas engineering, bringing together industry professionals, researchers, technology developers, policymakers, and academicians to deliberate on emerging challenges, technological innovations, and operational advancements in offshore exploration and production.

The workshop aims to strengthen collaboration between industry and academia while addressing practical engineering issues in offshore environments. The event is held in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Ocean Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, celebrating five decades of excellence in education, research, and technological contributions to ocean and offshore engineering.
