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.

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.

Academic expertise, operational experience, and knowledge gathered through trial-and-error analysis must be meshed in order to achieve the optimizations that are increasingly needed with the depletions we experience in various fields globally.

In an era marked by a growing emphasis on sustainability, industries are increasingly adopting innovative technologies. Three notable advancements are the extraction of lithium from produced water, using rhamnolipids as biosurfactants, and applying graphene nanoplatelets as scale inhibitors.

You’ve heard of generative artificial intelligence, and odds are you’ve used it. But do you know how it works?

Offshore wind power involves generating electricity from wind farms located at sea. Because wind speeds are generally higher offshore than on land, these farms produce more electricity for the same amount of installed capacity. Both wind and solar energy are renewable and do not emit carbon, which helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and gas.

Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.

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.
