Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
The past academic year has posed its challeng- es for SPE, especially in terms of holding events virtually, however our offi - cer team was dedicated to working towards a great academic year and han- dled well these challeng- ing times to make sure SPE continues to grow and engage the communi- ty through events. There were numerous events and new programs which were held and executed during the past academic year including successful- ly expanding outreach to other SPE chapters and
organizations, holding
CSM SPE Clay Shoot Tournament on April 30th which was sponsored by Liberty Oilfield Services and Chevron.
more than 10 lunch & learns, virtual mock interviews, golf tournament, clay shoot tournament, volunteering events, skills seminars and launching a new mentor- ship program.
In the beginning of the fall semester, in collaboration with IHS Markit, Harmony Enterprise Virtual Workshop was completed in a virtual setting which included training videos, live sessions with the instructors, and a Certificate of Completion. One of our biggest events was the Joint Session with Denver SPE which was held on April 21st virtually and the keynote speaker was the 2018 SPE President Darcy W. Spady. It was a successful event where every attendee (students, professionals, and professors) was very engaged.
The newly implemented mentorship program helps students in developing mentoring relationships. As the pandemic resulted most of stu - dents missing out on in-person internship mentoring and internships entirely, the program acted as an addition during these unprecedented times to ensure students still feel connected to the industry.
The SPE Point System was introduced recently which is in place to assign point values to members to incentivize them to participate in various chapter and Denver section events. SPE was also very excited to be awarded the Student Excellence Chapter Award for 2021 by Society of Petroleum Engineers International. The award is in recognition of our student chapter’s programs in industry engagement, operations and planning, community involvement, professional development, and innovation. SPE seeks to continue offering more benefits to its members. If you have any interest in putting on workshops, giving lunch & learn lectures or supporting SPE in any other way, please reach out to csmspe@ gmail.com . Thank you for the support!
