Energy Transition
Rita Okoroafor, SPE, reflects on her journey from petroleum engineering to academia, emphasizing how subsurface expertise, curiosity, and collaboration can drive innovation and support the transition to sustainable, low-carbon energy systems.
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.
