Events

SSPE schedules a variety of events each year as part of students development, preparing them to be future petroleum engineers and bringing them closer to the petroleum industry.

Professional Events

These consists of technical presentations by Oil and Gas industries, Ambassador lectures, taking part in Atlantic Canada section meetings and Young Professionals (YP) activities, and professional development workshops. These are great avenues to learn about new technologies, discoveries, current events and much more.

By participating in various technical conferences and exhibitions hosted by our parent organisation, SPE International, students are provided with the most current happenings in the petroleum industry in terms of technological innovation, research and developments as well as career developments. All student members are highly encouraged to take part in the SPE Annual Student Paper Contest.
