Hear from members of the SPE Production & Facilities Advisory Committee about the status of a two-phase project to identify critical needs within these disciplines in the decade ahead.

The global energy industry is entering a period of substantial change driven by technology, environmental policy, market demand forces, and stakeholder sentiments. In 2022, this committee established a work group to better understand and discuss professionals’ future needs within the Production & Operations and Projects, Facilities & Construction disciplines.

The objective of this 30-month effort was to envision Production & Facilities operations and challenges from 2025-35 and provide a documented roadmap for its current and incoming technical directors.

– Phase 1 defined four major impacts. The findings were presented and discussed at ATCE 2021.
– Phase 2 looks at the regional impacts. These finding will be presented during ATCE 2022.

As a final step, the group will discuss possible courses of action by the major stakeholders namely:

– Hosting governments
– Operating Companies
– Engineering, procurement, construction, and equipment providers
– Providers of oilfield services
– RD&D organizations and entrepreneurs
– Academia, continuing education, and training providers
– SPE staff, committees, sections, and members
