About the Forum

 The forum will address the thought-provoking concepts of the future and discuss the aspirational impact of further improvements of the software and hardware technologies on the engineering and geoscience workforce.  The underlying questions will be: Which tasks do we envision to be remaining by the year 2030?  What do we teach when all the book knowledge can be accessed through AI?  What will be the value of tacit knowledge if it can be acquired by AI? How would AI accelerate the Energy Transition (CCUS, thermal, hydrogen, etc.)

Who Should Attend

R&D staffs working on AI and decision processes from Academia, E&P Companies, Service Providers.

The Forum is a limited-attendance meeting for up to 75 people, designed for professionals in the oil and gas industry interested in the future direction of digitalization and process automation for business workflows.

What is a Forum?

SPE Forums are unique, by-invitation-only SPE events that bring together top technologists, innovators, and managers to address a specific industry challenge. Participants are encouraged to come prepared to contribute their experience and knowledge, rather than be spectators or students.

The objective is to create a collaborative, idea-generating arena that stimulates new ideas and innovation about future challenges facing the E&P industry.

If you have a role to play in meeting the challenges of tomorrow head-on, apply today.
