The SPE Western Australian Section has been working on a new format luncheon to meet the needs of our members. Tickets to the monthly lunch will now be $40 for SPE members (earlybird price). We hope this enables more members to attend our events where they can meet other like-minded professionals. The luncheons will still be held at the Parmelia Hilton Perth and cover topics relevant to those in the Upstream O&G industry.
Please see the Events pages of this website for our latest schedule. Hope to see you soon!

SPE APOGCE 2016 in Perth is done. Considering industry conditions this was such a successful conference. More than 860 delegates across the 3 days, more than 200 papers presented in over 30 sessions, 100+ delegates to the young professional workshop, 24 contestants across the 2 streams of the student paper contest, 110+ high school students at the education day, more than 20 teachers at the teachers day. Many thanks to our many sponsors and local members in WA and the rest of the region for supporting this event by contributing their technical knowledge and attending.
Please keep an eye out for summary articles over at SPE News Australasia.
SPE Western Australia section held its first sundowner in several years, last Thursday 22nd September. The night was sponsored by ARV Offshore and held at the newly renovated FLUX venue. The event was a success with over 70 registered local attendees. Local SPE members from operators, Universities and service companies mingled to the sounds of local jazz pianist Gabriel Fatin.
SPE WA will be holding more regular social events like these for our members in the future. Watch this space!

Would you like to be more involved with SPE? Become a Volunteer!
The WA Section of the SPE is the largest in Australia and has a very active Board (Organising Committee). A new Board, of continuing and new volunteers, is elected each year at the AGM held in conjunction with the July lunch time technical meeting. The committee fulfills a number of roles, with the aim of providing SPE members with networking opportunities, dissemination of technical knowledge and social events.
We recently elected the Executive Committee during the July 2016 AGM and would like to now invite any local members to also volunteer on the board. If you have a particular area of interest please let us know, the list of positions available is shown below. Additionally, if you have any other ideas or skills which could enhance the SPE WA board, then please let us know as we are always looking for ways to improve benefits to our members.
Please contact the Section Chair, Dan O’Reilly (dan.oreilly at chevron.com), by the 19th of August to express your interest.
