The award reflects ongoing efforts of the SPE UWA committee to continue to develop its activities in industry engagement, operations and planning, community involvement, professional development and innovation and builds on the Gold award they received in 2015.
UWA SPE president Corey Baker notes “This award is the highest International status you can achieve amongst the 360 SPE student chapters worldwide and we are the first in Australia/NZ to achieve this, so it is definitely quite the honour.”
Highlights of the UWA SPE calendar include twice yearly networking events allowing students to meet with industry professionals, technical lecture series presented by industry and also an annual field trip to the oil & gas sites located around Dongara in Western Australia.
