Chapter Hosts Intern Panel; Members Visit SPE Eastern Regional Meeting

On October 10th, the chapter hosted a panel of five students who shared their internship experience from this past summer. Grace Bailey (General Engineering) worked with Curry Rail Service this past summer. She shared what she learned about industrial organization and planning. Annamarie Bolt revealed how her job with FyreRok Reservoir Consulting gave her a better perspective of the entire process of petroleum engineering. Ian Gabig shared how the statistics and programming classes he has taken at SFU were applied with his work at the National Energy Technology Lab. Teresa Reid explained how helpful her work at Range Resources was to expanding her understanding of petroleum engineering and well design. She also related how she capitalized on the situation and made lasting connections with professionals at Range and other companies. The event was moderated by Caleb Lutz
