2019 SPE ADIPEC University Programme Steering Committee

Description

This programme is designed for the benefit of undergraduate geosciences and engineering students from across the Middle East and North Africa Region. It is anticipated that some 50-80 students will be selected to attend.

The purpose of this programme is to give the students a clear insight of the industry that they are about to join; to allow them to return to their universities and colleges with a positive message to relate to their fellow students; and to provide opportunities for students to form new friendships and to work together on joint activities

The Steering Committee’s role is to provide support and produce a program for the university students including inviting speakers from oil and gas producing companies, service companies or others. The Steering Committee should also assist in securing sponsorship within their organization and business network to support these programs.
