About Us

For more than 50 years, the Society of Petroleum Engineers has pursued its mission of sharing technical knowledge about the upstream oil and natural gas industry for the benefit of our industry and for the general public. SPE is a not-for-profit professional association whose members are more than 73,000 energy professionals in 110 countries. SPE provides services through publications, conferences, workshops, forums, and website.

SPE has made a special effort to support this goal of sharing knowledge by establishing energy4me, a website for students, teachers and the public designed to help students and adults become more educated energy consumers. SPE’s energy4me program is both a public outreach program and web resource.

Public Outreach

SPE members are available to speak to classrooms (primary, middle and secondary students) about energy in our everyday lives and about career opportunities. Teachers can request a presentation using this form

SPE also sponsors teacher workshops at SPE events, and addresses teachers at their professional events. To request information about SPE’s teacher outreach, please email energyed@energy4me.org
