-
January 16, 2013
UT PGE is set to host the annual SPE Local Paper Contest in the CPE building Friday, January 25. All students in the department are eligible to apply for the contest, which is divided into three divisions: undergraduate, masters and doctorate.
The students present for 20 minutes on their findings from a research project or internship for the opportunity to win a monetary prize. The judges, who are industry professionals, declare the three winners from each division at the end of all the presentations. The first and second place winners from each category move on to the SPE Regional Gulf Coast Paper Contest, hosted this year by UT PGE Saturday, April 25, where they will compete for a spot in the SPE International Contest.
“The Paper Contest is the signature SPE student competition and our students are always some of the top performing in our region and internationally,” said Dr. David DiCarlo, UT PGE Assistant Professor and SPE Faculty Advisor. “It is a great opportunity for students (at all levels) to present their work in front of senior industry professionals and for them to learn about the research the students are conducting in the department as well as out in the field.
UT PGE is thankful to this year’s sponsors for their support of the SPE Local Paper Contest:
Premier Sponsor: Pioneer Natural Resources
Lead Sponsors: Chevron and ConocoPhillips
Sponsor: Anadarko
The department wishes the students the best of luck in their presentations!
