SPE event

The Houston-based developer of AI-powered submersible robotics earned the Best in Show Award and a $10,000 prize.

Robotic and autonomous systems are transforming energy operations, but their full value emerges only when paired with data science, engineering analytics, and AI/ML to turn data into decisions. The transition of the SPE Robotic & Autonomous Systems Technical Section into the SPE Data Science & Engineering Analytics Technical Section helps bridge this critical technolo…

SPE Journal is seeking submissions for a special issue on sustainable enhanced oil recovery (EOR), highlighting innovations that boost oil recovery while reducing CO2 emissions and environmental impact. The Call for Papers opens on 15 October 2026.

The 2026 Upstream Scale Guidelines establish a common workflow for field measurements, scale modeling, and risk assessment to support more consistent operational decisions.

Each year during its Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE), SPE honors members whose outstanding contributions to the Society and the petroleum industry merit special distinction. Recipients will be recognized at the Annual Awards Banquet on 22 October.

After years of market shocks, technological breakthroughs, and rising uncertainty, ATCE 2026 will provide new insights on how industry leaders and technical experts are preparing for the next era of the upstream business.

As the pace of new discoveries slows and high-quality prospects become harder to find, oil companies may need to rely more heavily on mature fields to maintain production and support future supply.

At the inaugural SPE/ICoTA Asia Pacific Well Intervention and P&A Conference and Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, industry leaders highlighted how high-fidelity well data, real-time diagnostics, and predictive technologies are reshaping intervention planning and execution to improve well performance, reduce risk, and optimize late-life asset management.

SPE WA and Australian Energy Producers brought together more than 300 students and industry professionals in Timor-Leste for an energy transition seminar, leadership development activities, and the handover of future SPE events to the local section.

Panelists at the SPE Subsea Well Intervention Symposium discussed where AI is delivering value today, where risks remain, and how engineers can best determine its usefulness.
