PetroBowl®

SPE’s flagship competition matches SPE Student Chapter teams against one another in a fast-paced quiz competition covering technical and non-technical aspects of the oil and gas industry. Teams from six regional qualifiers are seeded through to the final. Competitions take place in the Asia Pacific, Africa, Europe, Middle East, North America and Latin America and Caribbean before the final which takes place at the Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE).
