BYU’s SPE Student Section team recently qualified to compete in the Petrobowl. PetroBowl is an international scholastic competition in association with SPE’s Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE). Universities prepare a team of five students to compete head-to-head in a fast-paced, trivia-style tournament. Teams earn points and advance to the higher rounds as questions relating to upstream petroleum engineering are answered rapidly and accurately.
Of the 71 teams that preliminarily signed-up and were tested to participate in PetroBowl 2014, BYU’s team placed 4th, qualifying as one of the top international contenders. The BYU team was invited to compete in the final-stage tournament at last year’s ATCE in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on October 27th, 2014. The students represented BYU, Utah, and the local SPE section at the competition.
