Thank you SPE for the opportunity to serve as SPE’s Data Science & Engineering Analytics (DSEA) Technical Section (TS) Chair. I deeply appreciate this honor. I am so delighted to work with our DSEATS board and subcommittee members. This group includes a diverse array of well-known SPE and industry leaders, recognized experts, and some very talented young professionals. Each brings to the table their own unique set of experiences, multidisciplinary knowhow, and global industry insights. It is personally gratifying to have more women colleagues stepping up to serve and contribute on this board.
We look forward to working with all SPE technical sections and disciplines using a hub-and-spoke model and having liaisons coordinate activities with the regional chapters.
As digitalization momentum accelerates across our industry (including the evolution of the next-gen digital oil field, more end-to-end process data integration, automation and technology innovations, simpler cross-discipline processes, and increased sustainability focus) the timing is just right for the DSEATS. In the coming months, we aim to break any regional discipline or organizational silos and increase more collaborative efforts, not only within SPE, but also with our academic and industry partners.
Please join our technical section and let’s together make a difference for the increasing energy needs of the world. You can share your ideas for DSEATS program at dsea.spe@gmail.com or contact any of the board members (https://connect.spe.org/dsea/aboutus/section-officers).
Looking forward to a very productive, inclusive, and an impactful term.
