Chair's Address: November 2022

Friends & Colleagues,

It’s hard to believe it’s nearly the end of the year, it seems like yesterday we were enjoying the summertime. SPE Aberdeen work continues, with several recent events from our ongoing Continuing Education programme, from a fascinating D&I virtual lunchtime event, to a rather enjoyable evening in the company of Chris Lemons, a Deep Sea Diver who defied the odds when disaster struck.

Our output is always varied, and hopefully everyone finds something of interest, or something that touches on their own specific discipline, or subject of interest. If not, what are we missing, what would you like to see, hear and be part of? We’re always open to suggestions of topics, speakers and maybe even something we haven’t thought of so far.

There are several ongoing activities within the Section including a refresh and revamp of our website, hopefully due to launch around the turn of the year. It will still contain all the information and resources as before but with an improved user interface and one or two new features.

There are two items I want to highlight, further details below, both the Student Bursary Programme and the OAAs are seeking applications. We are committed to supporting both, those about to commence a career in the energy industry and seek to recognise the many individuals and companies that we admire for their high standards and achievements.

I’ll sign off for now but always welcome feedback and questions, my contact details can be found on our website.

Graham
