Next in Energy

Digital drilling technologies are enabling a shift toward more predictive, efficient, and sustainable operations.

Breakthroughs in energy, similar to those seen in AI, require coordinated progress across multiple fields and the resolution of structural bottlenecks. As a result, a successful energy transition depends on integrated advances in infrastructure, policy, technology, and investment rather than isolated efforts.

The Genesis Mission is a US Department of Energy initiative that integrates AI, national labs, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen energy innovation, and enhance national security.

This commentary by the chair of the SPE Data Science and Engineering Analytics Technical Section examines how AI is reshaping petroleum engineering careers, highlighting growing risks to entry‑level training, judgment development, and the future pipeline of subject-matter experts in high‑consequence industries.

Gas chromatography is a proven tool supporting the safe, compliant, and optimal operation of operation of carbon capture, utilization, and storage processes.

Louisiana's orphan wells may provide an opportunity for successful microbial hydrogen production as the energy industry looks toward sustainability.

The energy transition is often portrayed as linear, but recent geopolitical tensions and market uncertainties show that the shift to a low-carbon future will be complex and shaped by multiple, interconnected pressures.

Liu shares her career experiences as it spans biomedical engineering, multiphase flow measurement in oil and gas, and emissions quantification.

This SPE Live episode will unlock how early-career engineers can position themselves for long-term growth in hydrogen-related projects.

Agentic AI could help upstream oil and gas operations reduce emissions by enabling real-time methane detection, optimizing flaring and energy use, and improving carbon capture efficiency.
