Hosted in Calgary, Alberta—the heart of Canada's oil industry—this event brings together engineers, geoscientists, leaders, innovators, and stakeholders to discuss the key developments shaping the sector.

This year’s conference will highlight critical topics, including updates on major projects, short- and long-term industry outlooks, advancements in technology, strategies for reducing GHG emissions, government and regulatory updates, and investment trends. Through insightful presentations and collaborative discussions, Slugging It Out continues to be a vital forum for fostering growth, driving innovation, and advancing sustainability in the heavy oil and oil sands industry.

Don’t miss the opportunity to engage with industry experts and peers as we tackle the challenges and opportunities ahead.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit organization. Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other Society programs.

When you attend an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for industry professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence. Scholarships, certification, the Distinguished Lecturer program, and SPE’s energy education program Energy4me® are just a few examples of programs supported by SPE.
