SPE Bergen

Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a professional association whose 100,000-plus members worldwide are engaged in energy resources development and production. Local sections of the SPE are established around E&P communities all over the world. SPE Bergen Section is one of five sections in Norway. We host a variety of activities and events, focusing on networking and knowledge.

SPE Bergen hosts regular member meetings, the annual SPE Sailing with the Statsraad Lehmkuhl in late spring, SPE Bergen Lutefisk in early winter and the SPE Bergen YP.lnk hosted by our YP program. Our largest event during the year is the annual SPE Bergen One Day Seminar in April. This international E&P conference and exhibition attracts some 500 participants and approximately 45 exhibiting E&P companies.
SPE recognizes the importance of those who one day will be leaders of the E&P industry. Along with many SPE sections, the SPE Bergen Section has developed a Young Professionals (YP) programme, to support and assist those in the industry with fewer than ten years of experience.

SPE also offers student memberships. The SPE Bergen Student Chapter counts several hundred members and is the most important link between students and the petroleum industry in the Bergen area. The SPE Bergen Section is proud to support and sponsor one of the world’s largest and most vibrant SPE student chapters. The chapter hosts its own events, and students also participate on regular section events.
