Call for Papers
You are invited to share your technical innovations and accomplishments by submitting a paper proposal for consideration. Your submission must be received by Thursday, 15 August 2024.
We welcome you to the SPE Western Regional Meeting 2025. This year’s theme is Technology for Transition into the New Energy Frontier. The new technologies required for this transition include technology for the expanded use of future and renewable energy sources, and also improvements in the extraction, transport, and utilization of existing hydrocarbon-based resources. The creativity and expertise of the SPE membership has long been beneficial for the latter. Now that same creativity and expertise is being applied to the former. New Technical Sections within SPE include Hydrogen, Geothermal Energy, CO2 Capture & Storage, and Robotics and Autonomous Systems. SPE and its members are already playing a role in the efficient and effective development of technology for the New Energy Frontier. An important objective of WRM2025 is to provide a venue to report on these efforts. At WRM2025, attendees can learn and become enthusiastic about the potential for applying their talents in existing as well as new directions. Please join us at what promises to be an exciting meeting of creative international talent. Submit an abstract, give a paper, expand your horizons.
