Field/project development
Alaskan oil is entering a renaissance driven by a predicted 13% upswing in 2026 production, the largest since the 1980s, and a possible reboot of LNG exports to Asia from the Kenai Peninsula, supplied via pipeline from the North Slope.
As the industry advances through a pivotal stage of the energy transition, emphasis remains on topics such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), decarbonized operations, digital transformation, and asset integrity—areas driving innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable value within SPE’s evolving technical landscape.
