Indigenous Wisdom is one of the first installments of a Natural Capital and Regeneration Gaia Talk series. This session is intended to seed a conversation with SPE members with a historically anchored view of connected resource development that both learn from the past, and builds bridges to a just energy transition, leveraging generational indigenous wisdom. We seek to meet SPE members where they are and provide them with deep insights into opportunities to develop natural resources, while also respecting cultural preservation, and taking a time-tested approach to ecosystem regeneration.

Low and high-enthalpy geo-energy for direct-use and power generation are experiencing a resurgence in interest and investment as technology and cost learnings from the oil and gas are applied to geothermal technologies to lower capital requirements, reduce risk and expand scalability. As companies and governments increasingly commit to lower emission futures, geothermal provides a unique and potentially largely untapped resource option to provide the world with reliable and flexible low emission heating, cooling and power. This SPE Live will delve into the background of the industries, how skills transfer between the two and how collaboration can reshape the future of both industries.

Join us for this SPE Live with two long-time observers of the global climate change negotiations, the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (COP). In this conversation, we learn about what they expect from COP26 Glasgow – the key issues to be negotiated and their perspectives on what could be accomplished there.

Join us for this SPE Live round table discussion with two young professional entrepreneurs as they discuss their success paths and obstacles.

All UNFCCC COPs are important but none seem more critical than this year's COP 26 in this first year of the so-called Decade for Action, reflecting the urgency of the climate and the biodiversity crisis.   Much is expected of this COP 26, following re-entry of the USA to the Paris Agreement, the update of the Nationally Determined Contributions, the much-waited IPCC AR6, and the accelerated decarbonization ambitions from both public and private sector.    The planet and humanity have much at stake, oil and gas has much at stake. The O&G industry's ability to chart an optimal path forward net zero emissions to closing the gap between decarbonisation aspirations and actions will be shaped by COP 26 outcomes.  Our ability to keep supplying oil and gas to meet the world's energy demand will be shaped by COP 26 outcomes.    Kamel Ben-Naceur, 2022 SPE President will host Bob Dudley, Oil & Gas Climate Initiative CEO Steering Committee Chairman, for this influential and engaging SPE Live Gaia Talk seeking to provide the oil and gas industry and its stakeholders with the means to prepare for COP 26 - to understand what to look for in the lead up to this historical event, what's at stake and how to interpret the key outcomes.

Hydrocarbons will continue to play a major role and provide a significant portion of the energy mix in the future — but why is it important to make the process of extracting them as green as possible? Join Schlumberger's Vinay Pemmasani and Paul Wyman in this SPE Tech Talk as they discuss the possibility of achieving a carbon-neutral well construction process.

With a digital revolution on the horizon and unique industry challenges ahead, the need for innovation is greater than ever. Join Schlumberger Global INNOVATION FACTORI Manager Morten Jensen in this SPE Live Tech Talk, where he discusses why now is the time to accelerate and integrate digital innovation into our essential industry workflows to deliver results that will help bring our industry forward.

Having a technical paper accepted into an event can be a career booster. In this SPE Live, learn key components of a technical paper and why writing one is important.

Join us for this SPE Live as we take a look through the spyglass and anticipate what 2022 has in store for the future of the energy sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on global energy supply and demand in the short term. We can all expect it to continue to have a lasting impact once the pandemic dissipates, but to what extent? Listen to this SPE Live to find out.

What does the future of our professional society look like? Join Tom Blasingame, 2021 SPE President; Kamel Ben-Naceur, 2022 SPE President; and Mark Rubin, SPE CEO & EVP as they discuss the potential merger with AAPG.
