Membership of the SPE

The SPE is a global organisation of 88,000+ professionals who have helped to shape the E&P industry in the past, who are responsible for much of its current innovation, and who will continue to lead it forward through the years to come.

Here in the UK, the thriving SPE Sections in Aberdeen and London organise their own constantly evolving programmes of technical seminars, topic-specific workshops and presentations by industry experts. Students and young professionals also have their own learning and development programmes, while all members gain access to the SPE’s global eLibrary of more than 37,000 technical papers.

Although engineers are the core of SPE, not all SPE members are engineers. Success in meeting today’s technical challenges requires cooperation across disciplines, and we welcome equally those with appropriate qualifications in geology, geophysics, earth science, environment, health and safety, mathematics, information technology, as well as management and economics.

Equally, while much of the focus for UK members is on the UKCS, our meetings and presentations include topics of interest across all the oil and gas regions of the world.
