SPE event

Organizers are calling on early-stage innovators that can advance the energy space to compete for recognition and cash prizes at the upcoming SPE Annual Technology Conference and Exhibition (ATCE).

The industry continues its move toward energy transition, demonstrating different stages among companies. These industry changes are affecting our current and future members, and SPE is working to provide guidance and education to our members through many avenues.

The SPE Strategic Plan has been updated, and the changes to SPE’s bylaws have been finalized.

The opening ceremony highlighted maximizing production sustainably to meet global demand, integration of simulation and optimization in a single platform with automation, and energy security.

The SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition is being held 31 January–2 February in The Woodlands, Texas.

SPE technical papers synopsized in each monthly issue of JPT are available for free download for SPE members for 2 months. These December and January papers are available now.

A pair of innovative field development strategies are helping tame the wild, wild Permian Basin.

Geosteering is supposed to ensure the wellbore stays in the most-productive zone, but a recent study suggests it often misses the mark.

Opening additional channels of communication with our members provided important feedback to move forward with the Strategic Plan.

The produced water conundrum in the Permian Basin will be solved by a mix of recycling, disposal, and future breakthroughs in technology currently being studied.
