Spring Break Expo

Readied for Students

Set March 16-17 at OU

Planning continues for AAPG’s first Spring Student Expo, set March 16-18 at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Okla.

The Spring Expo, a follow-up to last fall’s successful Expo at Rice University in Houston, is designed to mutually benefit geoscience students interested in petroleum careers and petroleum industry representatives seeking intern and full-time employees.

This Expo will provide the opportunity for students to showcase their work in poster format and to network with industry representatives, who are also invited to present exhibits to promote their exploration, development and service activities. Over 60 companies have been invited to participate in this event, including small/mid-size companies as well as majors.

Those industry representatives, in turn, will be presenting exhibits that promote their companies’ exploration, development and service activities.

This event is scheduled to take advantage of Spring Break for a number of Mid-continent and southern coastal universities, as well as the many area mid-size and independent companies.

The weekend event will start with an Icebreaker and buffet on the evening of March 16, beginning at 5 p.m. An all-day poster and exhibition sessions and interviews will be held the next day. The Expo will end Saturday evening with a St. Patrick’s Day party and featured speaker Deborah Sacrey, president of Auburn Energy, who will speak on “Visualization Technologies in Earth Sciences.”

The Expo is hosted by the University of Oklahoma School of Geology and Geophysics, The Sarkey’s Energy Center and the Oklahoma Geological Survey.
