「得る・得る」の情報
得る is a る-Verb that has the meaning of 'to gain', or 'to acquire'. When attached to the conjunctive form of verbs, it takes on the nuance of 'for (A) to be possible', or 'to be able to (A)'.
- もし出来得るならば、2年後に会社を立ち上げたいと思っている。If it's possible, I'm thinking of starting a company in two years.
- いくら気をつけていても、交通事故は起こり得るものだ。No matter how careful you are, it's possible for a car accident to occur.
Caution - 得る may be seen as either える or うる. The primary difference between the two being that うる is a relatively old form that is often seen in literature, and spoken far less frequently than える. Despite this, there is a tendency for うる to be the preferred spoken choice when the kana that appears before it is え, such as 教える becoming 教えうる, rather than 教ええる.
- そういう事はセクハラにもなりえるので、そういう事はやらない方がいい。Things like that can be considered as sexual harassment, so you shouldn't do that.
- 考えうる事は、すべてこの企画書に書いておきました!I wrote everything I can think of on this proposal!
Fun-fact - 得る is far more formal/bookish than できる. However, there are several set phrases that are very common in daily speech that use this particular grammar point, such as あり得る 'possible', and あり得ない 'impossible'.
- うん、それもあり得るね...Yeah, that is also a possibility...
- 電気代がまた値上がりするみたいだよ。マジあり得ない。It looks like the electricity bill is going to go up again. There's no way.

if a verb stem ends with え is it more likely to be うる or am I reading too much into the examples?
gyroninja
I think you are reading too much into it (though maybe don’t fully trust me since I’m making an informed guess). うる is the classical Japanese reading of 得る so it will be more rare to show up and likely has some set phrases where it appears.

It may have changed since you commented this but now the entry for 得る does mention:
Despite this, there is a tendency for うる to be the preferred spoken choice when the kana that appears before it is え
