WELCOME!
This is the Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
This technical section encompasses the subject of hydraulic fracturing technology through online events, online networking, workshops, conferences, and by promoting diversity in the industry.
The purpose of this section shall be to provide a forum from which technical professionals and academia can:
  • Share knowledge, experience, and best practices
  • Identify major issues and technology areas on which to focus cooperation and discussions
  • Maintain and promote industry awareness of related issues and technologies
  • Enhance their own technical competencies that meet the needs of the petroleum industry
We will accomplish our mission through the transfer of knowledge at study groups, monthly meetings, forums, and workshops.

SPE Completions Exchange: Houston Pilot Event

The SPE Completions Exchange is a new, collaborative technical forum supported by the SPE Gulf Coast Section Completions & Production Study Group and SPE International, aimed at strengthening engagement within the global completions community through open knowledge exchange and practical problem solving. This pilot event brings together completions, reservoir, and subsurface professionals from operators, service companies, and consultancies.

Join us on 30 April for a program that combines a high-level panel discussion, focused technical presentations, and facilitated roundtables addressing emerging challenges and evolving best practices in completions engineering. Topics include automation and closed-loop fracturing, casing deformation, offshore completions, geothermal applications, and approaches to improve recovery factors.

The Houston‑based pilot is intended to serve as a foundation for broader regional and international engagement, with the ambition to expand the Completions Exchange to additional SPE sections worldwide and foster deeper cross-disciplinary collaboration.
