The GRMS system of standardization and classification for geothermal resources, led by a coalition of stakeholders in collaboration with Project InnerSpace and the Society of Petroleum Engineers, will be published in November.
Argentina’s President Javier Milei met with TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné and Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi in Paris to discuss Argentina’s energy sector, including projects linked to the Vaca Muerta shale formation and the development of the Argentina LNG export project.
Known as Arena, the collaboration aims to improve decision-making across increasingly complex reservoirs and growing volumes of subsurface data.

In a recent webinar in April, “Ethics for Engineers,” Larry Brown, a licensed professional engineer in Oklahoma and Texas and an SPE Distinguished Member, reminded engineers of the ethical obligations they carry in their professional careers. -
The understanding of decision-making processes is critical in ensuring project success and safety. Project failures—and disasters—can result from the lack of understanding or implementation of sound principles.
