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 South America and Caribbean before the final which takes place at the Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE).
PLEASE NOTE: Positions can only be given to those who are already attending ATCE, as a volunteer opportunity no funding can be provided for your attendance. Also note that as PetroBowl® is a competition between Student Chapters, Student or University Staff will not be eligible for these positions.
