energy transition

The oil and gas industry's shift to smart fields—driven by automation, AI, and real-time data—requires petroleum engineers to master digital technologies alongside traditional skills.

Microgrids are no longer niche innovations—they have become a foundational component of modern energy infrastructure. Realizing their full potential will require targeted policy reform, clearer regulatory frameworks, and greater access to innovative financing models.

A University of Tulsa PhD student Gulnur Ualiyea is advancing CO2 well injection technology through groundbreaking research on downward gas-liquid flow. Her innovative work is gaining global recognition and reshaping the future of sustainable energy.

Global investment in the energy transition is creating high-demand roles for engineers in solar, wind, and digital energy systems. For YPs and engineers, adapting to this shift means upskilling in cross-disciplinary, digital, and sustainability-focused domains to stay competitive.

A team from UT Austin won the Blue Hydrogen Student Design Competition, where more than 200 students from three Texas universities designed sustainable hydrogen production processes.

Organized by YPs for YPs, this initiative offers a safe and inspiring space where learning meets leadership, and where the future of energy is not only discussed, but co-created.

Presented by the SPE German Section, the webinar will focus on how commercial extraction will require innovative approaches due to the depth and low permeability of key formations in the basin.

The upcoming webinar will explore how oil and gas technologies are being repurposed for geothermal and renewable energy applications.

The 3-Minute Thesis competition challenges grad students to ditch the jargon, simplify the science, and captivate a nonspecialist audience—with only one slide and a ticking clock.

Vladyslava Kaliuzhna, SPE, shares how participating in SPE activities strengthened her long-term commitment to sustainability, collaboration, and innovation in the energy sector.
