SPE Canada Regional Student Paper Contest
The SPE Memorial University Student Chapter, in collaboration with the Atlantic Canada section, is proud to announce that they will be hosting the 2016 Canadian Region Student Paper Contest for undergraduate, master’s and PhD students. This work can include anything from coursework, internship projects, theses, dissertations and more - as long as you are the major contributor to the work.
Selected students will have the opportunity to present their work to an audience of industry professional and peers. Winners in each category will receive travel support form SPE International and will also be asked to prepare a written paper and represent the SPE Canada Region at the SPE International Student Paper Contest at the Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition on 26-28 September 2016 in Dubai, UAE.

SPE Calgary Livestream Initiative
The SPE Calgary Section is partnering with all Canadian SPE sections and university chapters to offer weekly Special Interest Group (SIG) luncheons to SPE members across the country. The initiative is designed to engage SPE members across Canada and disseminate the technical resources available within the Calgary energy community.
The first trial in this program took place 29 September with the Atlantic, Maritimes, Grande Prairie, Edmonton, Lloydminster, and Vancouver sections. Syd Nejad, CEO Naft Energy, presented about International Business Development Opportunities: An Introduction to Iran Upstream Openings.
Three more trials are expected to take place through December 2015 with a targeted full-deployment by January 2016.
At a later date, the Calgary Section hopes to make the webcast available to all SPE Calgary section members and corporations as a cost-effective alternative to individual luncheon registrations. Currently, the initiative is being funded by the Calgary Section and will offer a different topic every Tuesday from 1145 to 1300 MST.
To view the upcoming topics, please visit the SPE Calgary Section Website.
To learn more about the program, contact Claudio Virues or Ramez Hanna Alla.
