2024 SPE President

The SPE Timor-Leste Section officially launched on 7 November with a celebration of 200 guests and an array of dignitaries across a range of industries.

Eighteen Timorese students spent a week in Perth exploring and forging connections within the Australian oil and gas industry.

The conference program focused on powering the future of energy with a century of innovation.

Collaboration and technology will help the industry meet its toughest challenges, experts said during the opening session at ATCE.

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.
