SPE Europe
Regional Director Updates
Laura Precupanu

The springtime has already arrived and I truly hope to see more and more in person events organised by our sections and student chapter in Europe.
As it was already announced, the SPEI approved and adopted an updated strategic plan. This is a periodic exercise to define goals to better meet member expectations and industry needs over the next 3 to 5 years.
For me, the most important value is what are we doing at SPE for our members – how can we restore confidence in our business and motivate people to collaborate and work together for the greater good.

Natural Gas Helps Eliminate Energy Poverty
With a staggering 1 billion people on the planet without access to electricity and clean cooking fuels, natural gas is one key solution to help lift these people out of poverty and improve their quality of life. Since 2000, the International Energy Agency reports that 26% of the gains in access have come from natural gas.
