Ipieca, the global oil and gas association for advancing environmental and social performance across the energy transition, is marking its 50th anniversary. It was established in 1974 at the request of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to act as the engagement channel between UNEP and the oil and gas industry on environmental and climate issues. In the 5 decades that have followed, the non-lobby association's scope has expanded to cover social performance and mainstreaming sustainability, and it now works with a wide range of UN bodies across its strategic pillars of climate, nature, people, and sustainability. The association brings experts from its member companies together with its partners in UN, non-governmental organizations, and academic organizations to share knowledge and develop good practice guidance. To date it has published over 300 good-practice guidance to advance climate action, environmental responsibility, social performance, and sustainability.

Adeshina Badejo is a petroleum engineering PhD student at Texas A&M University under the Texas A&M at Qatar Strategic Research Initiatives Program. He has a strong interest in reducing the environmental impact of the continued use of fossil fuels. His research focuses on flow assurance challenges of the CO2 value chain from the extraction point to the subsurface injectivity point with the integration of machine learning. Badejo has been actively involved with SPE since 2016 as a volunteer. He led the Heriot-Watt University PetroBowl team to the regional qualifiers in Zagreb, Croatia, and received the 2023 SPE Aberdeen Section Student Bursary Award. He also served as the 2018–2019 SPE Programs Chairperson during his undergraduate studies and co-initiated the inaugural edition of The Industry Discourse, a student-led energy conference. He holds a master’s degree in subsurface energy systems from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh and a bachelor’s degree in petroleum and gas engineering from the University of Lagos, Nigeria.

Organization of the PetroBowl Regional Qualifiers are planned collaboratively with SPE International and the Regional Directors who operate within each PetroBowl Super Region. Each "super-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. Regional Qualifiers will be a mix of physical and virtual events depending on suitability for the region.

Robert Barba brings more than 4 decades of expertise in the petroleum industry, specializing as an openhole wireline engineer, petrophysicist, product development manager, and completion optimization advisor. His work emphasizes the integration of petrophysics with completion and reservoir engineering to enhance well recovery. With a wealth of knowledge in both conventional and shale reservoirs, Barba earned the 2018 SPE Southwest North America Regional Formation Evaluation Award. As an SPE Distinguished Lecturer (1995–1996), he shared insights on optimizing completion designs through petrophysical and reservoir engineering inputs and was again nominated for the 2024–2025 DL season. A recognized authority on refrac candidate selection and best practices, Barba developed techniques for evaluating well performance that have been used on over 5,000 wells. Recently, he focused on refrac reorientation and parent-child issues facing the unconventional sector, contributing significantly to the field's literature.
The use of virtual reality (VR), a technology that immerses the user in a realistic 3D experience, is becoming increasingly affordable and accessible across different industries. Previously, its use has been mainly associated with entertainment and gaming, but the technology has also seen immense success in health care for training in complex procedures such as surgery, in the mining industry to simulate emergency situations and to explore difficult terrain, and in the automotive industry to improve driving and reduce accidents. This paper describes how the use of VR has been transformative in the approach taken to training in major-hazard industries including oil and gas. The use of VR for training has seen immense growth because it provides an interactive learning environment that is both engaging and fun. For most people, it is something they do not use at home, so the experience is a major boon for engagement of a workforce that would have previously experienced many different, conventional training programs.

The year has commenced with many value adding activities in the various Sections across Africa. I hope you are finding them useful and engaging. The organizers put a lot of effort to providing our members with a wide variety of content across the continent both in-person and virtual so that our members gain the full advantage of their SPE membership. March 8th was International Women's Day, and it was gratifying to see the different sections roll out targeted activities to celebrate with the Women of SPE! Most exciting was a collaborative event hosted by FOUR Sections: Ghana, Vienna, Warri and Maputo!

This one day training course focuses on the repair of channels, voids and leaks in a cemented wellbore. Poor cement coverage and lack of zonal isolation in the casing-borehole annulus often leads to production of undesired fluids and reduced hydrocarbons production, disposal problems, reservoir pressure decline, loss of hydrocarbon reserves and other problems. Objective of the course is to evaluate and discuss various technologies used to repair wellbore communication paths due to wellbore aging that can develop allowing fluid to migrate from the high pressure downhole strata through leakage paths in the cement containment. Poor cement coverage and inadequate zonal isolation affects nearly every aspect of a well during its life. This course will give participants a better understanding of some critical well safety and integrity issues and methods to repair wells that have reliability issues, including sustained casing pressure (SCP).
