Each year during its Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE), SPE honors members whose outstanding contributions to SPE and the petroleum industry merit special distinction. Recipients will be recognized at the Annual Awards Banquet on Tuesday, 24 September.

To choose the right technologies for a gas-compression package, it’s critical for operators to have a clear understanding of their business and greenhouse‑gas emissions-related goals. Operators also need clarity concerning the impact of evolving requirements on total cost of ownership as well as potential financial ramifications.

In this inaugural episode of his vodcast and column, 2025 SPE President Olivier Houzé shares his insights on the challenges facing our Society and its members, as well as his vision for his presidency.

Hurricane prognosticators continue to believe the 2024 Atlantic storm season will be more active than normal, even after a somewhat slow start. In any case, the oil field is ready.

As SPE celebrates a century of innovation at the 2024 ATCE, we also mark the 75th anniversary of the Journal of Petroleum Technology. These twin milestones stand as a testament to the achievements that have driven our industry forward—innovation, pushing boundaries, setting new standards, and fueling the energy that powers the world.

The energy industry faces a shortage of skilled professionals, and high salaries aren’t enough to attract new talent. We need to show how careers in this field offer meaning and stability, with transferable skills across energy sectors.

Fervo Energy proved fracturing can harvest geothermal energy and is now rapidly learning to build a utility-scale power plant.

Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.

This paper describes the development of a comprehensive digital solution for well surveillance and field-production optimization for an offshore field consisting of four stacked reservoirs, each containing near-critical fluids.
