During the year, the SPE Bergen Section host a variety of activities. Some are
for members and sponsors only, but most activities are open for everybody.
Member meetings
The core of our activities are our members meetings. We host 6-8 meetings every year. Through the SPE's Distinguished Lecturers Program, we are able to offer you the very best technical presentations from all over
the world right here in Bergen. In addition to the DL, a local presentation is
offered on every meeting, giving the meetings a local touch. Local presentations
also gives you the possibility to get to know a little bit more about what is
moving on the peak of technological development right here in Bergen.
Member meetings starts with a social hour and ends with a nice dinner, nicely
encapsulating the technical content with excellent networking opportunities. Typically,
the meetings are visited by 30-50 people, including student members.
SPE Bergen One Day Seminar
The annual One Day Seminar is our largest event. The combined technical conference and exhbition is held
in Grieghallen, Bergen, every spring and is visited by 4-500 delegates. The conference
offers 6 parallel sessions of cutting-edge technical presentations. The exhibition
covers some 2000 m2, and 35-40 companies are represented with exhibition stands.
From 2010, the ODS also hosts a Young Professionals Workshop. The seminar is unique
in many ways. One of them is of course that it only spans one day (hence the name)
which makes the seminar very compact.
SPE Bergen Sailing
Every May, we host the SPE Bergen Sailing with Statsraad Lehmkuhl. The annual sailing is always a sell-out, and some 350
participants including students enjoy a full evening at sea with excellent food,
drinks and networking.
SPE Bergen Lutefisk & Other Subsea Completions
Another steady tradition is our annual Lutefisk dinner in November. Some 150 participants enjoy the Lutefisk with its proper add-ons.
This is Norwegian pre-Christmas culture at its best, and always a great success.
Young Professionals activities
In addition to the above, the SPE Bergen hosts a Young Professionals programme which hosts acitivites for YP's.
Activities for students
The SPE Bergen Student Chapter hosts a variety of events for their members. In
addition, student members are invited to all of SPE Bergen's events as described
above. For information on the student chapter's acitivites, visit the SPE Bergen Student Chapter page.
