This SPE chapter is one amongst such initiatives which is committed towards enhancing the participation of its members in industries which are ever changing and ever growing such as the petroleum industry. This student chapter will add significant value to our students and their petroleum engineering learning process. SPE maintains a position of great value and significance and the inclusion of our students in this initiative will definitely shape and nurture them towards this path of growth in the industry,” said the University’s Vice Chancellor, Dr MN Patel.
