I hope that 2023 is a safe and prosperous year that rewards all your future initiatives with satisfaction and success. This month's update highlights the 2022 SPE Europe Energy GeoHackathon and the importance of nominations for SPE Awards. Our industry is front and center with any wave of climate change discussion. This is our reality and was the case in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), held in November 2022. Reports indicate COP27 had a better outcome than the previous COP26 meeting.

PetroBowl Regional Qualifiers

Organization of the PetroBowl Regional Qualifiers are planned collaboratively with SPE International and the Regional Directors who operate within each PetroBowl Super Region. Each region will select up to five teams to represent them at the PetroBowl Championship. In addition to the teams from each region, the first and second place Chapters from the previous year's Championship are also invited to defend their title. A total of 32 places are available for the Championship. While COVID-19 remains a serious health and safety concern, Regional Qualifiers will be a mix of physical and virtual events depending on suitability for the region.

SPE Online Education: Oil and Natural Gas Technology Symposium: Focus on Sustainability

As the energy transition becomes more and more crucial to our everyday lives, it is important to create an open dialog connecting the oil and gas industry with policymakers. The Oil and Natural Gas Technology Symposium: Focus on Sustainability, held virtually on 6–7 April 2021, created an opportunity for this open dialog. This event was collaboratively developed by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG). The purpose of this program was to share innovations that improve efficiency, sustainability, reduce environmental impact, and enhance recovery. Additionally, the speakers addressed the role of oil and natural gas in the coming energy transition.

SPE Online Education: Climate Series: Methane

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, with a Global Warming Potential over 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere over a twenty-year timeframe. Methane is responsible for about a quarter of today's global warming (IPCC, 2013). If the world is to reach the 1.5 C (or even a 2 C) global temperature target, deep reductions in methane emissions must be achieved by 2030 as part of holistic efforts to meet climate goals under the Paris Agreement (IPCC, 2018). And because methane's atmospheric lifespan is relatively short – 10 to 12 years – actions to reduce methane emissions can rapidly contribute to bend the curve away from dangerous warming, while also delivering air quality benefits. The oil and gas sector is one of the largest man-made emission sources, estimated to be responsible for circa one-quarter of global anthropogenic methane emissions (IEA, 2020) The latest data shows that around 3.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas escaped into the atmosphere in 2012 from global oil and gas operations.
