The plan outlines key goals for the Society over the next 4–5 years. The board spent much of the planning time seeking feedback from members globally. Although members' views on the future of SPE and the industry vary widely, most members have similar concerns and priorities. The Board and leadership will work on specific implementation plans to meet the goals laid out in the plan.

African oil and gas is increasingly becoming an investment magnet as new discoveries position the continent as a guarantor of energy security to emerging Asian nations and as Africa itself seeks to enter the 21st century. Hear how current oil prices and supply chain issues affect the planning and development of fields to maintain steady operations. As other regions in the world focus on an energy transition agenda; Africa is focused on maximizing its assets' value, productivity, and resources while keeping a strong ESG guidance. For professionals and companies looking to diversify their opportunities, the continent is full of options and challenges that need to be properly considered. SPE is looking for members to volunteer on committees that manage various programs and activities.

Abstract There is an increasing demand for robotics systems in production, inspection, and maintenance in the energy industry from offshore to onshore, to reduce operating costs and lower the risk of exposing humans to hazardous environments. However, a gap exists between existing workforce expertise and technologies that are developing rapidly. The deployment of robots requires the engineer to have rich experience in production and sufficient understanding of the robotic multidisciplinary system so they can identify and deploy the robot in the use case that can maximize the robot's efficiency. The nature of robotics and automation presents a challenge to the workforce since the existing workforce's background, in specific engineering disciplines or business, hinders them from adapting and then keeping up with the transition to robotic (not normally manned) operations. Directed by the University of Houston, the Subsea Systems Institute (SSI) is developing, in collaboration with Sprint Robotics, the National Robotarium (UK) and the Society of Underwater Technology (SUT), a robotic training program. The objective is to upskill and reskill the energy industry personnel (offshore and onshore) to meet the emerging industry demand for multidisciplinary robotics expertise. This group is collaborating to fill the gap between required knowledge and application in the energy industry by identifying the necessary knowledge and skillsets, and then developing an adaptable modular program with use cases to train the existing workforce. The SSI led effort will adjust to the differing needs that drive the adoption of this evolving technology, including engineers and scientists and other stakeholders such as managers, influencers, and the public.
In recent years great strides have been made in satellite detection of methane emissions. There are now a variety of satellites with a variety of methane sensors and detection capabilities in orbit and several more planned in coming years. Today is public data with limited resolution, and high-resolution private data, in the future the new satellites will bring new levels of transparency to methane emissions in both public and private domains. We have assembled a distinguished and expert panel working in this field to present and discuss what is possible and the impact this can have on the rapid mitigation of methane emissions. This series of webinars between thought leaders on climate change in the O&G industry and the broader O&G industry around the world will be undertaken in an effort to deepen understanding around issues of climate change and receive feedback from the wider oil and gas industry on the energy transition.
The Oil and Natural Gas Technology Symposium: Focus on Sustainability, held virtually on 6–7 April 2021, created an opportunity for open dialog between the oil and gas industry and policymakers. The first session leads with a sustainability panel and provides tangible real-world examples/case studies of environmental stewardship occurring in the oil and natural gas industry.
