Message from the Chairpersons

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to extend an invitation to attend the upcoming SPE Energy Transition Symposium, scheduled to take place 12-14 of August 2024 in the energy capital of the world, Houston, Texas. In a pivotal era for the energy industry, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) recognizes its imperative role in leading the transformative journey that lies ahead.

Themed "Accelerating the Energy Transition: Integrating Systems, Empowering People, and Enabling the Future," this symposium aims to establish itself as the preeminent event dedicated to the energy transition. Our primary objective is to facilitate the exchange and dissemination of knowledge drawn from the insights of industry leaders, technical experts, academics, practitioners, representatives from the financial community, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) leaders. Through collaborative efforts, we intend to foster discussions, technological advancements, and exchanges that will move industry forward into a sustainable and innovative future.

The symposium's agenda encompasses a rich array of sessions, including keynote addresses, panel discussions, technical presentations, and poster exhibitions. Visionary practitioners at the forefront of the energy transition will engage attendees, relating how key projects are altering the energy landscape.  Led by industry executives and experts, panel sessions will delve into strategic topics related to the energy transition, including the developing energy transition industry, R&D advancements, and NGO perspectives.

Technical sessions will highlight the expertise of practitioners and professionals from diverse technical disciplines within the industry, offering insights into ideas, best practices, innovative solutions, progress, and technological advances addressing current challenges in the energy transition space. These include a broad focus on critical technologies and resource areas, such as renewables, hydrogen, geothermal, critical minerals and Energy Storage, and those activities that enable them, for example infrastructure, CCUS, policy, and communities.  This event provides an exceptional opportunity for seasoned and emerging professionals alike to share experiences, learn from peers, and forge relationships with attendees representing diverse backgrounds and topics of interest.

On behalf of the 2024 SPE Energy Transition Symposium Program Committee, we invite you to participate in this exciting symposium. Let us “transition” together by submitting an abstract by 1 April 2024 -  we look forward to seeing you at the SPE Energy Transition Symposium on 12-14 August 2024 in Conroe, Texas.

Sincerely,

Tom Blasingame
