  • SPE Vietnam Section – Your Upstream Technical Community

    Dear Sirs, Madams, Members, Volunteers and Friends,

    Thank you for your support to the SPE Vietnam Section community through 2024. The strong support from all stakeholders to the Vietnam Section and amongst the volunteers is highly appreciated.

    The Section has been very active in my first year holding the Chairman role of the Vietnam Section Committee. As the year end approaches, I wanted to reach out to you all; express my thanks and mention the Section activities.

    Volunteering spirit is strong and the Section Committee 2024 to 2026 (including colleagues from Cuu Long JOC, Idemitsu, SLB, Baker Hughes, Harbour Energy, PVEP and others) has been implementing an attractive program. In May we established SPE Vietnam Company Limited; enabling us to operate efficiently and effectively. We hosted the SPE regional finals of Petrobowl in July and SPE International’s President visited Hanoi in November. SPE International held a workshop in October and the Section held its own Technical Workshop and associated annual Golf & Tennis Tournament. The Section also supports the five Student Chapters (at HCMUS, HCMUT, HUMG, PVU and DUT) and local charities.

    We hope to strengthen and expand the professional networks and learning by bringing people together face to face as well as share useful and informative technical and operational information broadly. We would like to hear your ideas and get involved with your professional community.

    For more on specific activities, please visit our Site or scan our posts on LinkedIn, and Facebook.

    We would encourage all of you who are not registered members with SPE International to consider doing so. Our membership chair, Hugh Sykes (hugh.sykes@perygrene.vn) as well as our Section Assistant, Vưu Nguyễn Ý Lan (assistant.spevietnam@gmail.com) would love to hear from you if you do or have any questions.

    The Section extends season’s greetings for Christmas and the New Year to you, your colleagues and your loved ones. We look forward to meeting many of you again soon, before we reach the end of the year of the Dragon and welcome in the year of the Snake.

     

    Yours faithfully,

     

    Phạm Nam Hiếu

    Chairman (2024-2026)

    on behalf of SPE Vietnam Section Committee

  • SPE Vietnam Section Visits MTTQ TP HCM

    On 16 September, representatives from the SPE Vietnam Section visited MTTQ TP HCM to deliver the 100 million VND donation pledged in support of the relief efforts for Typhoon Yagi victims in the Northern region. As an organisation committed to sustainable development and community engagement, especially during challenging times, the SPE Vietnam Section believes in the power of collective action. We are confident that with the combined efforts of our entire community, the Northern region will soon overcome these difficulties and rebuild.
    During the visit, our team had the opportunity to learn more about the ongoing supporting activity from MTTQ. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the recovery efforts and extend our continued support to the affected communities.

    Recently, SPE Vietnam, successfully organized the PetroBowl 2024 Competition - Asia-Pacific Regional Round in collaboration with Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and PetroVietnam Exploration and Production Corporation (PVEP) as sponsors.

    The PetroBowl is an annual competition featuring teams of petroleum engineering students who engage in a battle of wits, answering technical and general questions pertaining to the oil, gas, and energy industries. Since its inception in 2002, the competition has expanded significantly in both scale and influence, achieving global recognition with the establishment of six regional qualifying rounds in 2015.

    Vietnam was honored to host the Asia-Pacific qualifying round in 2024, with the participation of 16 teams and professors representing 7 countries: Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Australia, and China.

    At the end, the five teams advancing to the PetroBowl Global 2024 final round in Houston, USA, next September are: University of Indonesia Chapter, UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta, Gadjah Mada University, Padjadjaran University, and Batangas State University.
