In this vodcast and column, Olivier Houzé explores the polarized views among SPE's members about the energy transition, highlighting the geographic and demographic differences. He examines historical perspectives on energy transitions, evaluates future scenarios, and discusses how SPE can adapt its mission to stay relevant.

This update highlights efforts to electrify oil and gas assets and deliver clean energy to remote, underserved communities. But the big question remains: Can we really achieve net zero emissions by 2050?

BP’s 2024 Energy Outlook warns delayed decarbonization efforts will result in costly and disorderly energy transition.

More freshmen are enrolling in petroleum engineering, drawn by strong demand for graduates.

The agreement covers the upstream to downstream sectors, focusing on global business and development of human capital.

Finding talent to advance technologies for energy transition is among the top concerns for executives in oil and gas, utilities, chemicals, mining, and agribusiness. Talent shortages, especially for technical experts, are slowing down progress.

The expanded scope of our evolving industry means that members of the petroleum engineering profession will enjoy a long, rewarding career. At the same time, we will need to continue developing our competencies to enable expected contributions in producing new forms of energy resources.

The upstream oil and gas industry continues to drive innovation in its quest to solve the monumental challenge of supplying energy to the world in an affordable, secure, and sustainable way.

An energy transition symposium was held in February in Washington, DC, to inform and engage policymakers and the policy community in the US capital from the perspective of the engineers and geoscientists who currently work to supply 60% of the world’s energy.

Our shifting energy landscape requires a new way to measure the amount of energy that can be extracted from any given source against the energy required to produce and distribute it.
