2026 SPE International Conference & Exhibition on Formation Damage Control
18–20 February 2026 | DoubleTree by Hilton | Lafayette, Louisiana, USA

 

Celebrating over 50 years of collaboration, innovation, and technology transfer in formation damage remediation and productivity enhancement.

The one aspect of the petroleum industry that has remained constant during decades of its pendulum existence has been the desire to optimize oil and gas production with minimum cost. This conference is an excellent venue to share your expertise, experience, and knowledge with your colleagues from around the world through the exchange of ideas in technical and poster sessions, exhibitor presentations, panel discussions, and continuing education courses. We hope to see you in Lafayette, Louisiana, next February during the festive Mardi Gras season at one of the longest running SPE technical events.
