Experience ATCE 2026

"My first ATCE was more than a decade ago, when I attended simply to learn from industry experts and expand my perspective. Since then, I have returned as a speaker, reviewer, and now a Technical Program Committee member. What makes ATCE unique is its ability to bring together technical depth, innovation, and meaningful industry connections in one place. Every year, I leave with new insights, new relationships, and a broader understanding of where our industry is heading. For anyone serious about professional growth in the energy sector, ATCE is an experience worth investing in."

"ATCE is where technical depth meets real-world application. Each year, I gain practical insights — from advanced reservoir simulation workflows to field development applications — that directly impact offshore development projects. Serving on the Energy Transition Subcommittee since its inception, and as its first Chair in 2024, has been especially rewarding. We helped establish a dedicated Energy Transition track and curated practical CCUS and decarbonization sessions, bringing subsurface expertise to the center of ATCE’s evolving technical program. ATCE uniquely combines innovation with collaboration, connecting operators, service companies, and academia. I continue to attend because it accelerates learning, broadens perspective, and builds meaningful, long-term professional relationships."

"What differentiates ATCE from other large-scale E&P events is that, in addition to an excellent technical program, panels, and unlimited opportunities to network and connect with other SPE members, ATCE also caters to its student SPE members and young professionals through events like the Petrobowl competition and the future talent zone, among other excellent member programs. With its sheer breadth and scale, attendees can maximize their experience to get precisely what they want and need from ATCE."

"As CCUS continues to grow globally, one of the most valuable parts of ATCE for me is seeing how closely education, research, and industry are connected. As Director of the CCUS Program at Colorado School of Mines, I find ATCE especially meaningful because it helps me understand the evolving needs of industry while bringing those insights back to our students and curriculum. I also value the opportunity to connect with experts, learn about emerging technologies, and support younger professionals as they grow within the energy community."

"ATCE has been a cornerstone of my professional development in the energy industry. Year after year, I return because of the unmatched depth of technical content and the caliber of professionals I get to connect with. Whether it's discovering emerging technologies or having candid conversations with peers facing the same challenges, ATCE consistently delivers real value. If you are on the fence about attending for the first time, don't hesitate, the knowledge and relationships you'll gain are worth every moment."

"SPE ATCE stands as the most prestigious academic conference for petroleum engineers worldwide, bringing together the latest technological achievements in the global petroleum engineering community. It serves as a vital platform for knowledge sharing and advancing the petroleum industry. As an honored recipient of the 2008 Star Programme, I witnessed firsthand the inclusiveness and progress of SPE ATCE during my student years. Nearly two decades later, now deeply rooted in the oil and gas industry as a practitioner in the CCUS field, I am deeply honored to contribute to the green and low-carbon transformation of the oil and gas sector. The SPE platform will undoubtedly provide strong support for my career development. I will continue to support and participate in SPE ATCE conferences, contributing my part to global sustainable energy development."

"For me, after 28 years as an SPE member, ATCE has always been more than just a technical conference, it’s a place where I genuinely reconnect with the industry and the people behind it. What keeps me coming back is the unique combination of deep technical discussions and honest, experience-driven conversations. Some of the most valuable insights I’ve gained come not only from the excellent sessions, but also from sharing challenges and ideas with peers. Those exchanges have directly influenced how I approach complex problems and further strengthened how I collaborate across the industry."

"ATCE brings for you the future of energy sector and provides the cutting-edge technology for the industry. You will participate in deep knowledge sessions that shape global operations and solutions with experts and professional speakers from all over the world at one place. Don't just watch the industry evolve from the sidelines but Share ATCE to engage with fellow pioneers and help establish the benchmarks for the next years."

"ATCE stands out for how it reflects the evolving nature of the industry, bringing forward timely topics and innovations. I connected with experts whose work I’ve long followed and built meaningful relationships. Presenting at ATCE for the first time last year, where I shared our work on methane emissions, was a defining experience for me. The strong engagement, from thoughtful questions to insightful discussions, validated our research and expanded its impact. That experience motivated me to get involved, and I’m excited to now contribute as part of the ATCE 2026 organizing committee."
