For his May podcast, Terry focuses on the academic side of things, what the future holds for petroleum engineering, and the importance of supporting our university and students.

Join us for an SPE Live on Diversity & Inclusion addressing the advantages of mentoring programs for women. Our guests will discuss why companies are implementing these programs, share lessons learned, and share recommendations for starting this practice.

Speakers: • Celina Gioja, Diversity and Inclusion Professional at Celi Gioja • Emily Firth, Europe Market and Business Analyst at Halliburton

Moderated by Miral Tawfik, Reservoir Engineer at Chevron

A hydrogen economy envisions using hydrogen as a clean, low-carbon, and versatile energy carrier and fuel. It offers benefits in terms of energy security, public health, and economic development. Initially, Blue Hydrogen manufactured from natural gas in combination with CCS could help diversify our market options while helping to reduce greenhouse emissions. It has the potential to generate new job opportunities for many of us in the O&G Industry.

The global market for hydrogen and fuel cells is expected to grow from $5.5 billion in 2018 to $42.5 billion by 2026. However, Hydrogen is certainly not a silver bullet. A rapid expansion in hydrogen usage also requires that we collectively address several challenges and barriers especially in the areas of storage and transportation. Hydrogen and Ammonia should be seen as complementary energy delivery options that will rapidly expand alongside LNG, renewable, modular nuclear reactors, geothermal and small-scale hydro-projects.

This SPE live will introduce the SPE Hydrogen Technical Section and discuss H2 as part of the energy mix, addressing the investment landscape and technical challenges and opportunities.
