Professionalism, Training, and Education

It is a privilege to serve the petroleum engineering community as the SPE Middle East and North Africa regional director during this crucial period of industrial development. Since more than a century ago, the mission of SPE to disseminate knowledge to the public has played a significant role in bringing together people and organisations with similar interests across boundaries. This is becoming increasingly vital as the energy landscape evolves rapidly... 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: Future of Intelligent Completions – Case Study From GOM

In this webinar, we focus on the role of sliding sleeves in reservoir management and production optimization. We take a closer look at smart completions and demonstrate its application using a case study from deep waters in Gulf of Mexico showcasing benefits gained by the technology by providing flexibility to adapt to challenges faced during the life of a well. This webinar is categorized under the Completions technical discipline.

SPE Online Education: Horses-for-Courses: Getting your Message to the Target Audience in the Most Effective Way

It is self-evident that an efficient process for managing, archiving, and providing access to technical presentations and papers via virtual or face-to-face events and publications lies at the core of the SPE's primary mission to dissemination and exchange technical knowledge. So, why is it so hard to get an abstract or article accepted for a conference or publication? SPE Papers and posters presented at a SPE Technical Conferences or published in SPE magazines or journals are intended to help other SPE Members do their jobs as practicing petroleum engineers. The British have a great expression for selecting a course of action that has been modified from the original plan to take advantage of the circumstances. A horse that performs well on a dry race-course may run less well on damp ground after a prolonged period of rain, for example.

SPE Online Education: Accelerating the Value with Women Talent in Oil and Gas

The oil and gas industry has traditionally had a low representation of women in technical roles. One possible explanation for this disparity may be a lack of awareness and initiatives aimed at promoting and supporting the inclusion of women. However, with the growing importance of data science and artificial intelligence in the industry, there is an opportunity to attract more women to these fields. To do this, a top-down approach may be necessary, focusing on the development and support of female talent and providing easier access to opportunities. This approach would ensure that women with the necessary qualifications, competence and skill sets are given the support they need to excel in the industry.
