Registration for the Paris event is now open!

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles!

We want to shorten miles and increase SPE-friends all over the world and for this… we need you!!!

After the success of the first edition, we hereby invite you to the Second Edition of the Beyond The Borders program, which will have its first Event hosted by SPE France Section in Paris from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th June 2019, themed ‘Wellhead to downstream’. As usual, there will be interesting forums, conferences, business visits and cultural visits, all mixed with a lot of fun and opportunities to meet international peers and make new friends!

Travel costs are self-funded by each participant, while accommodation (+breakfast) and at least one meal per day are in charge of local section. Two Young Professionals will be selected from the Italian Section to participate at the event depending mostly on their motivation: register (https://forms.gle/LnGRpAMW5dZhNBNp7) by the 10th of May to the event to be our ambassador at the Paris event!

But that is not all we have got in our basket! As you might be aware of, SPE YP borders are broadening and, as of today, the Beyond The Borders program has seen the inclusion of many Sections from all around Europe: Bergen, Portugal, Vienna Basin and Germany, which add to the already existing cooperation between Italy, France and Romania.

​Dear Members of the SPE Italian Section,

The elections of the Board 2018 - 2019 are over!
We received 88 votes. One is duplicated and one is affirmative but invalid (completely anonymous), so we have 86 valid votes. Among the valid votes, we have 84 YES and 2 NO.

Consequently the proposed 2018 - 2019 Board is approved!

The two NO did not leave any comments, so that we do not have clues about the reason. Whatever you don’t like or would like to improve is a welcome comment!
During the year, we are going to ask your opinion more frequently, with the same method of the elections, and we hope you will not be shy.

Two additional short comments.
We have been asked to increase the number of events related to Drilling and Completion disciplines. This is something we were discussing since a few weeks before the elections, and we will try to do it soon in the definition of the 2018 - 2019 Program of events. If you have any specific suggestion, please let us know.
Lastly, I would really like to thank the past Board directors and also thank the members who accepted to be part of the new Board. All of us are completely volunteer and such an engagement is an act of generosity that I will never cease to appreciate.

I wish happy holidays to all of you!
See you in September.

Alberto
