Who We Are
SPE currently has more than 160 student chapters in countries around the world. Each chapter is affiliated with an SPE section (Abu Dhabi section in our case).
The official opening of our Chapter at The Petroleum Institute took place on October 12th, 2004. The Chapter was inaugurated by Mr. Ali Al-Jarwan, SPE Middle East Regional Director and Mr. Mark Rubin, SPE Executive Director. The Chapter allows students to interact with practicing professionals and benefit from technology discussions at section meetings. The Petroleum Institute SPE Student Chaper organizes many activites. Examples of major technical activities include field trips, company visits, technical presentations delivered by industry professionals or student paper contests that offer students the chance to showcase their research results and presentation skills, competing with other students for honors both regionally and internationally. Social activities can take different forms depending on invention of chapter officers and resources available and include BBQ dinners, dhow cruises, sport events etc. |
