For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.

SPE President Jennifer Miskimins lent her expertise to Science Friday’s conversation about Venezuelan oil, explaining the reality of what it would take to extract and refine it.

SPE’s strength depends on engaged members, and serving on a committee is a meaningful way to contribute expertise, collaborate with peers, shape programs, and make a lasting impact on the Society and its future professionals. Members are encouraged to step forward, volunteer, and help shape SPE’s future.

Mark your calendars for the first SPE Live featuring the 2025 TWA Energy Influencers.

Chinecherem Ezembadiwe, SPE, shares his journey as president of SPE Federal University of Technology Owerri Student Chapter.

Switching from continuous circulation to cyclic huff-‘n’-puff operation in enhanced geothermal systems can significantly delay thermal breakthrough, sustain higher production temperatures, and improve long-term economic performance.

The event celebrated and united past and present members for learning, recognition, and a hands-on engineering competition that reinforced the chapter’s commitment to technical excellence and innovation.

As the year winds down, we’re filled with gratitude for your incredible support and involvement.

SPE member Silviu Livescu has been chosen to receive the award in recognition of his groundbreaking contributions to next-generation, low-enthalpy geothermal energy systems, which are enabling widespread, cost-effective building heating and cooling solutions.

From Washington to Rhode Island, college campuses are tapping into geothermal energy to heat and cool new construction projects.
