The SPE International Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Conference 2022 in Muscat has brought together some of the oil and gas industry’s finest. Darcy Spady, Managing Partner of Carbon Connect international and 2018 Society of Petroleum Engineers President was in attendance and he was kind enough to come on our Bridging the Gap Podcast in person. I talked to Darcy about the SPE conference in Muscat, as well as the potential merger between SPE and AAPG. We also talked about clean energy and low hanging fruit GCC countries have to reduce their GHG emissions. Darcy also gave his insights on the future of petroleum engineering in the midst of the ongoing energy transition including words of advice to current petroleum engineers. We finally discussed the GCC potential of being at the forefront of the world’s decarbonization efforts with in house expertise and continuing to enforce in country value. Please have a listen!
