The Society of Petroleum Engineers' (SPE) Aberdeen section is making a milestone this year - it is the group's 40th anniversary - with a black tie dinner at top tier industry speakers from Shell, BP, Statoil, and Schlumberger.
The section was set up shortly before the first drop of oil was extracted from the North Sea - from the Argyll & Duncan oilfields (now called Ardmore).
Since then, SPE Aberdeen has developed alongside the oil and gas sector in Scotland, having more than 2500 members, and it plans to be in the city until the last drop of oil is extracted.
SPE Aberdeen chairman, Anthony Onukwu said: “This is a momentous year for SPE Aberdeen. Our 40th anniversary is an ideal juncture for us to reflect on the successes of SPE Aberdeen and the North Sea oil and gas industry over the past 40 years, ensuring that the generations to come will build upon the legacy left to them by all of us, those who are highly passionate about the upstream oil and gas industry.”
To mark its 40th anniversary and acknowledge the continuous efforts made by its members across the years in enhancing the ethos of the SPE, SPE Aberdeen will celebrate with a black-tie dinner on Thursday, 7 August. SPE Aberdeen will welcome an impressive line-up of key industry speakers from Statoil, BP, Shell, Taqa, and Schlumberger.
The evening will showcase the oil and gas industry’s journey over the past 40 years and the impact SPE Aberdeen Section has had upon the local industry and the wider Scottish community.
SPE Aberdeen expects 200 guests to attend on the night at Aberdeen’s Chester Hotel.
SPE is a unique oil and gas industry membership organisation, not just because of its niche audience but also because of its relevance to the wider community. It supports local schools and universities, educational and knowledge-sharing scientific activities, whilst running on a not-for-profit basis.
