Energy Transition
Geoscientists are shifting from primarily discovering and extracting resources to integrating knowledge, guiding sustainable decisions, and using Earth’s history to help balance resource development with long-term planetary health.
Mark your calendars for the final SPE Live featuring the 2025 TWA Energy Influencers.
Part one of this three-part series explores the history of the first 10 years of the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties.
-
Geothermal energy currently supplies less than 1% of US power but could reach approximately 10% with enhanced systems if well integrity challenges are solved, positioning it as a key player in a net-zero 2050 grid. -
The universities are forming a national hub focused on advancing safe and reliable subsurface storage of energy-related fluids.
-
The free, 1-day symposium will bring together graduate students, faculty, and industry leaders dedicated to advancing research, career growth, and energy innovation.
-
For young professionals, natural hydrogen presents unique opportunities to shape an early-stage industry and contribute to the broader energy transition.
-
The SPE Spain Section visited with 2026 SPE President Jennifer Miskimins to engage in a direct, thoughtful dialogue about the section's current challenges, goals, and the path forward as a small SPE community in Europe.
-
Yurii Moroz, SPE, reflects on his career journey from field operations to leading new energy project management including hydrogen, geothermal, CRM, and CCS projects at Ukraine’s largest state-owned gas company.
-
While some see CCS as a vital tool for reducing emissions, others are exploring whether its current deployment aligns with long-term climate and clean energy goals.
-
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.
