From the beginning, SPE has focused on knowledge dissemination in four fundamental areas, which I refer to as the core disciplines: drilling, completions, reservoir (including geosciences), and production operations. These disciplines make up the bulk of coursework in most petroleum engineering degree programs, as well as the content of the SPE Petroleum Engineering Certification test. Still today, most of our members can identify themselves as being either a drilling, completions, reservoir, or production engineer.” In this episode, Shauna Noonan discusses strengthening core disciplines.

Each month, Shauna joins The SPE Podcast to discuss her President’s Column and to share her SPE journey. We’ll end each of these podcasts asking the audience an interactive question.
