To accomplish the goal we have arranged the first ever national level petroleum conference.This year SPE-DU committee arranged SPE CONFERENCE 2017 with a motto of introducing students to the Petroleum Sectors of Bangladesh from professional point of view. Workshop and a number of competitive events were arranged as a part of Conference for the purpose of collaborative learning.The workshop arranged by SPE-DU was conducted by Tamanna Afroz, Petrotechnical Expert, Schlumberger.With the goal of introducing research methodology to undergraduate students as well as providing a stepping stone for graduate research, Poster Competition was also arranged as an integral part of the Conference, 2017. Investigating a theory or hypothesis from different viewpoints is the core of any scientific analysis. Keeping this in mind a Debate Competition concerning Petroleum Geology of Bangladesh was organized by SPE DU Chapter.
