Peer-Reviewed Journals

SPE publishes seven peer-reviewed technical journals. These journals bring you technical papers that have been through a rigorous process of review by technical experts, often resulting in revisions to the paper to improve its content, quality, and utility. Peer-reviewed journals offer the best way to keep up with important technologies and solutions in your discipline.
