Our Mission:
The mission of RDTS is to foster an open dialogue among global SPE members on emerging research and development topics related to the upstream oil and gas industry, and also the technologies pertinent broadly to Energy advancements. To accomplish these objectives, the section uses multiple forms of engagement, such as conferences, webinars, SPE Live, EnergyStream, podcasts, JPT articles, and social media (LinkedIn). RDTS actively reaches out to the science & technology community outside SPE.
RDTS is one of the oldest and currently the fourth largest of the two dozen SPE technical sections, with about 4500 members globally. Due to the breadth of emerging technologies, RDTS frequently joins efforts with other SPE technical sections.
