Dear Colleagues,

The 28th edition of the SPE Reservoir Simulation Conference (RSC) will be held from Tuesday to Thursday, 25-27 March 2025, in Galveston, Texas.

For six decades, reservoir simulation has been indispensable to energy companies, enabling more efficient development and production of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Looking ahead to the next half-century, the imperative for such technology is even more pronounced. While petroleum will remain in our energy mix, green technologies play a vital role in our future. These technologies, from carbon capture and sequestration to geothermal and seasonal storage of gases including hydrogen and compressed air, hinge on advancements in reservoir simulation and our grasp of fluid flow dynamics.

The RSC serves as the ideal forum where engineers, geoscientists, and students from both industry and academia convene to exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge advancements in the mathematical, physical, and computational realms of reservoir simulation, alongside its key applications. A notable highlight of the conference will be the culmination of the ongoing 11th SPE Comparative Solution Project. In this project, 46 teams from around the globe have collaborated to assess contemporary solution methods for simulating CO2 storage operations in geological settings and to devise new approaches to address the challenges inherent in such simulations, encompassing both physical processes and long timescales.

We look forward to seeing you at the conference in Galveston.

Sincerely,

Knut-Andreas Lie                                                                   Denis Voskov
