The SPE Completions Advisory Committee to the Completions Technical Director (Peggy Rijken) is launching a new knowledge-sharing initiative focused on best practices across various subject areas, presented through a series of white papers. These papers will be authored by subject matter experts

(SMEs) and will reference leading SPE publications relevant to each topic. The primary objective is to provide valuable guidance and foundational knowledge for young engineers entering the discipline.

The Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section (HyFTS) is leading the development of the first white paper in

this series, covering key topics within hydraulic fracturing. This inaugural paper will be presented and

published at the Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference (HFTC) in February 2026.
