Discounted Member Prices for OnePetro
To assist SPE members, SPE has lowered the member price for SPE papers in OnePetro to $5/paper through 31 December 2020.
This represents a further 47% discount on conference papers and 58% discount on journal papers. Nonmembers pay a higher price. Individual members who had purchased a subscription to OnePetro are being contacted about the option to pause and extend their subscription to take advantage of the lower price.
