Join us in Bakersfield, California, April 12–16, 2026, for the Pacific Section AAPG / SPE Western Regional Joint Meeting (PS-AAPG/SPE WR Joint Meeting)-“Reimagining the Subsurface Energy Resources for a Prosperous Tomorrow.” This event will showcase the latest advances in geothermal, hydrogen, CCUS, enhanced recovery, reservoir management, deep and shallow formations, regional geology, data analytics, drilling, completions, facilities, and other energy transition topics. The program will feature plenary and technical sessions, invited talks, industry panels, lightning talks by exhibitors, field trips, short courses, student posters, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration across geoscience, engineering, and the industry. By addressing both traditional hydrocarbon development and emerging low-carbon technologies, the meeting aims to highlight how subsurface energy can be reimagined to ensure long-term energy security while advancing the global transition to a sustainable future.
