    SPE Live Podcast: Understanding Legacy Well Risks in CCS Projects

    Legacy wells represent one of the most persistent uncertainties in assessing long-term CO₂ storage integrity. This SPE Live brings together regulatory and scientific viewpoints to explore how the risks posed by old wells can be identified, assessed, and managed. The discussion will examine how regulators approach balance assurance and oversight, while also drawing on field observations and scientific advances that reveal how leakage may manifest, migrate, and be naturally attenuated in the subsurface environment. Together, these perspectives highlight the importance of integrating evidence-based science, effective regulation, and collaboration to build confidence in large-scale CCS deployment. Attendees will gain insights into the regulatory and assurance aspects of legacy wells, but also explore environmental “fingerprint” of leakage, its detectability, and how science-based diagnostics can support regulatory oversight. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with experts and enhance your understanding of CCS integrity and risk management. Moderated by Leon Beugelsdijk, Front-End Development Manager, Shell Speakers: Aaron Cahill, Associate Professor of Applied Geoscience and Environmental Risk, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Margaret Copland, CS Wells Lead, North Sea Transition Authority

    SPE Live Podcast: Permian Basin – Opportunities in this Highly Productive Oil and Gas Region

    The Permian Basin stands as a cornerstone of the oil and gas industry, both within the USA and on a global scale. Renowned as one of the most prolific oil and gas producing regions worldwide, the Basin’s vast reserves and cutting-edge technologies have cemented its position as a leader in unconventional oil and gas plays. This region not only significantly bolsters the United States energy independence and economic growth but also plays a pivotal role in stabilizing global energy markets. With thousands of vertical and horizontal producing wells, significant advancements have been accomplished in reservoir recoveries, efficiencies, development strategies, and technology deployments. The 2025 SPE Permian Basin Energy conference will highlight recent advancements, field results, and current challenges and opportunities from active operators within the basin. Attendees will get a unique opportunity to hear about field case studies from technical staff, and operators’ leadership will discuss their strategic plans. Moderated by Tom Blasingame, Professor and Head of Petroleum Engineering, Texas A&M University   Speakers: Luis Baez, Permian Basin Water Manager at ConocoPhillips Johannes Alvarez, Enhanced Oil Recovery Manager in the Shale & Tight Business at Chevron

    SPE Live Podcast: Using Virtual Flow Metering Data for Advanced Reservoir Surveillance and Development Planning

    The Flow Measurement Technical Section (FMTS), in collaboration with the Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS), is hosting this SPE Live session to explore the evolving role of Virtual Flow Metering (VFM) as a bridge between production measurement and reservoir management. The discussion will explore how advances in multiphase metering, sensing technologies, and data- driven algorithms are enabling more accurate and reliable virtual measurements, while also providing valuable insights for reservoir performance analysis. By integrating perspectives from both flow measurement and reservoir engineering, the conversation will highlight how VFM can optimize production allocation, improve well and field surveillance, and support real-time operational decisions. Through case examples and technical insight, the discussion will present how VFM solutions are being deployed, validated, and refined to meet the industry’s evolving operational and reservoir management needs. Moderated by Phani Kondapi, President, Jaajitech Digital Speakers: Lars Wollebaek, CTO, Turbulent Flux Adilbek Mursaliyev, Product Chief, Dereknet Muhammed Navaid, Senior Specialist in Reservoir Engineering, ADNOC
