Re: Can I get an SPE paper free?
Ponspor,
Yes an account with onepetro or the SPE is required. If you work for a major operator, they may have an expensive corporate account. You can also become a member youreslef, but that defines your cause of wanting it for free.
Otherwise, you post a request for specific paper number. Someone may upload & post a link if they have the paper or access to an account. Alternatively you could email the author and sometimes you get the articles sent to you...
