- W2035250148 abstract "Almost 20 years ago, I wrote a paper titled The New Engineering Paradigm and the Emergence of Investigative Engineering and presented it at the 1988 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in Houston. Later, in August 1989, the paper was printed as an article in JPT. When the article first came out, it created quite a stir. And, as I mentioned in the article, I did not expect everyone to agree with a lot of what I had to say. Many did not. The article was com-posed to stimulate the thinking of how we engineers really function in an organization and to introduce the concept of investigative engineering. Over the years, I have had some conversations and correspondence about the article, but, with the flow of time, the interest in the topic seemed to wane. That is not unexpected, because the shelf life of most articles is short. However, a longtime colleague of mine who works for a major oil company recently sent me an email saying that he raised the article from the archives and explained the relevance it had in some discussions with his management about engineer-ing. The email tweaked my interest in the subject again, and I reread the article for the first time in years. Then I asked myself: How much truth was captured 20 years ago? Or was there any truth in the article at all? Now I must point out, if you are going to get the most from what I am going to say, I suggest you read the original article (SPE 18103, available in SPE's online eLibrary), especially if you are passionate about your engineering career, the way your company practices engineering, and whether the engineering paradigm of the 1980s is still the norm or has morphed into something else. The importance of the distinction of what the current engineering paradigm is or is not relates to how we, as a practicing community of engineers and scientists, meet the challenges of the future to find and produce oil and gas for the world. A Common Goal Whether you are a petroleum, mechanical, chemical, electrical, civil, or industrial engineer, or a physicist or chemist, once you enter the world of oil and gas exploration and production, you have a common goal: Find and produce oil and gas in the most cost-effective, safe, and prudent way. This is a yearly multibillion-dollar venture with thousands of professionals worldwide. If you boil down the three critical factors for civilization through time, humans have been concerned about food, water, and energy. In the last hundred years, few wars were fought over food and water. However, in the last hundred years, it seems a lot of wars have had a heavy energy influence. If you have read The Prize by Daniel Yergin, you will get the flavor of this." @default.
