Members of the KAUST Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) student chapter will participate in the 2013 PetroBowl in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 30.
PetroBowl is a competition which pits SPE student chapter teams against each other. In the competition, the students must answer a series of technical and non-technical quiz questions related to the oil and gas industry.
Since its inception in 2002, PetroBowl has been hosted by the Gulf Coast (US) Section of SPE, and demand from student teams to participate in the event has never been higher.
The KAUST team, consisting of students Ayrat Abdullin, Ibrahim Gawish, Sultan Safin, and Klemens Katterbauer, answered a set of questions in order to enter PetroBowl. Competition was fierce, but the team succeeded in gaining one of the 36 spots.
KAUST is the only Saudi university to be represented at the 2013 PetroBowl. Teams from other prestigious universities, including Stanford University, Colorado School of Mines, Texas A&M, and TU Delft, will also participate.
Congratulations and good luck to the KAUST team!
