It is my pleasure to announce that the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference will be held on February 4-6, 2025, in The Woodlands, Texas, USA. This conference is a premier event for the hydraulic fracturing industry, providing a platform for experts to share their insights on the latest advances in hydraulic fracturing technology.
Building on the success of last year's conference, which saw attendance at near record levels, we're excited to continue highlighting the latest advances in hydraulic fracturing technology through presentations, publications, panels, short courses, and a sold-out exhibition floor.
Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with industry leaders and peers from around the world, making this conference an unparalleled networking opportunity.
We'll kick things off with the Steve Holditch Opening Plenary session, where experts will share their insights on the latest discoveries and applications of hydraulic fracturing. The opening plenary session also typically features an SPE Legends of Hydraulic Fracturing Award. The eight technical sessions that follow will feature paper presentations on the latest technology and applications of hydraulic fracturing.
Areas of special interest for the 2025 conference will include recent developments in fracture diagnostic technologies, transferable field case studies, technology developments, and well performance and analysis. The program committee will request abstract submissions to help develop the technical program.
We are excited to announce that we will be extending the conference to three full days, with extended networking breaks to allow attendees more time to connect and collaborate on the exhibition floor. Along with the extended conference, we are pleased to announce our strategic alignment with the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) as part of advancing HFTC.
Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for this premier event on February 4-6, 2025, in The Woodlands, Texas, USA.
