  • SPE Denver General Meeting: October 2026

    Paris Ballroom in the Hotel Monaco 1717 Champa St, Denver, CO, United States

    Abstract:
    Petroleum Engineers should have a basic grasp of climate science. While alarmists in the media have caused many of us to tune-out, the science can be quite interesting. This 30- minute presentation reviews the basic physics, some learnings from paleo reconstruction, recent temperature trends, and then teaches how engineers can make their own future warming calculations. You may be surprised how similar are projections between the scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and other well-known scientists branded as skeptics. Often missing from the climate narrative is perspective on climate shift versus natural weather variability, for both temperature and storms. This presentation tries to frame this distinction for you so you can make up your own mind on urgency. The climate narrative will always be ubiquitous for the oil and gas business, so hopefully by having a grasp on the science we engineers can better influence the narrative, and quantitatively understand how our actions can be helpful.
