The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) NED University Student Chapter in Karachi, Pakistan, conducted six Energy4me presentations in secondary schools, colleges and universities in Pakistan. Hernan Buijs, an SPE Young Professional Coordinating Committee member from Argentina, worked with student chapter member Mohammad Turab and his team, also known as the “Ambassadors for Pakistan,” to create an energy education outreach initiative. The student-run program promotes SPE and educates the surrounding schools about the oil and gas industry and the challenges facing it today.

Energy4me and SPE would like to express our thanks to the commitment and continued efforts of this student chapter. Behrooz Fattahi, 2010 SPE president said “My congratulations to Hernan Buijs and Mohammad Turab for doing such a fantastic job with Energy4me. With people like you guys, I am confident our industry will do great and SPE will benefit immensely from your contributions.”

Energy4me encourages young industry leaders to get involved in their community by giving classroom presentations or holding educational outreach programs like the SPE NED student chapter. These presentations make a huge impact and inspire future generations!

Share with us your contributions and outreach efforts in your community that you are already making with Energy4me and email us at energyed@spe.org or read more on how you can get involved in your community!
