Yes

In 200 wo rds o r less, succinct ly summarize ho w yo ur act ivit ies o ver t he past year
impact ed yo ur members.
The activities carried out last year had a significant impact on the cohesion of the members of the student chapter,
as we faced new challenges in which we had to make a digital transformation of all our activities, from student
volunteering to technical and professional activities delivered to our audience, as well as increase our interactivity
with our followers in our social networks to promote learning opportunities and professional growth.

Also, all the activities carried out allowed us to network with professionals in the oil industry and with colleagues
from other student chapters at national and international level, which helped us to encourage teamwork in pursuit of
a common goal which is the dissemination of knowledge of petroleum engineering and new technologies emerging
today.

Describe ho w yo ur st udent chapt er adjust ed o perat io ns t o serve members during

The development of t echnical event s last year underwent an import ant change due t o t he spread
of t he COVID-19 virus, which prevent ed t he holding of public event s. In t he count ry, a quarant ine
was imposed and social dist ancing measures and biosafet y st andards recommended by t he WHO
were est ablished, so we had t o migrat e t o new communicat ion met hods in various virt ual
videoconferencing plat forms t o carry out everyt hing t hat was planned. An average of 40 people
part icipat ed in t he t echnical event s carried out by t he St udent Chapt er on t hese plat forms.
Co nsider t he BEST t echnical event o f t he past year. Describe t he impact it had o n
yo ur members and ho w it relat es t o SPE's missio n.
Just at the strictest moment of the COVID- 19 pandemic, when the development of normal activities had ceased, an
idea arose on the part of the Student Chapter of the UCV to hold technical events through virtual videoconferencing
platforms, that is how the SPE Week Online was born (from May 4 to 9). This event consisted of a series of talks
related to a topic that is currently booming in the Oil and Gas industry: Machine Learning. These presentations were
prepared by a diverse group of engineers based in the country and abroad, experts on the subject, thus fulfilling the
mission of the SPE which is to collect, disseminate and exchange technical knowledge concerning the industry,
specifically Industry 4.0. Over the course of a week, different presentations were given daily, lasting between 1 and
1.5 hours. On average 40 people between students and industry professionals, nationally and internationally
participated in each talk. The interaction with the public, especially with the students, was important since it provided
space to generate networking between the attendees and the professionals, who responded to the different
concerns and curiosities that arose in each talk. It is worth mentioning that this event was a pioneer in the country
and had such an important impact on innovation that the idea served as an inspiration to develop different events
like this one at a national level.

Describe a seco nd t echnical event fro m t he past year. Be sure t o include t he

impact it had o n yo ur members and ho w it relat es t o SPE's missio n.
Within the framework of the development of activities by the Student Chapter in the course of the pandemic due to
the COVID- 19 virus and using virtual videoconferencing platforms, the topic of Machine Learning addressed in the
SPE Week Online was deepened and a Data Science course was held. This course was done in conjunction with
the company Glouphi and was directed by an Engineer Israel Guevara, a graduate of the Universidad Central de
Venez uela, living abroad and former member of the Student Chapter. Initially, a participant selection system was
developed due to the high demand generated among students and industry professionals interested in the course
and the number of places offered by the company, so that a total of 30 participants were selected, giving priority to
students. This course strengthened the SPE's mission by developing technical knowledge in the use of different
software related to the Oil and Gas area. Specifically, the course was based on the use of two softwares: Power Bi
and Google Data Studio, the classes had a duration of approximately 4 hours for 10 Saturdays, in which initially the
necessary theory was taught and closed with a practical session to consolidate the knowledge. The course lasted
40 hours and culminated with the delivery and defense of a project in which the skills developed were verified.

In the midst of an atypical situation that affects internationally such as the pandemic and where it was wanted to
continue advancing professionally with the available resources, technology was the link with other student chapters
of the world, through which the SPE LATIN AMERICA TECHNICAL CONGRESS in conjunction with 19 student
chapters from South America recalling the mission of the SPE to collect, exchange and disseminate technical
knowledge related to the industry for the public benefit, this allowed to give the opportunity for professionals to
improve their technical competence and professional through certain issues of the value chain of the hydrocarbon
industry in which they develop.

In order to motivate, prepare and guide the new generations of students who want to live the Petrobowl experience,
a series of motivational talks were held with those interested, with the support of students who have already
participated, as well as through the Social networks competitions were held to obtain points and move on to
subsequent rounds showing interactions through Instagram, reaching teams with more than 1000 likes, which
represents an increase of more than 500% in this social network. Their performance in the English language was
then evaluated through rounds of questions and answers that allowed them to give advice and support that would
be useful at Petrobowl.

The best activity that we consider as a student chapter is to bring knowledge of the oil industry to schools, as this
will motivate and create curiosity among the children of the country to be interested in this important activity for our
economic sector and also to encourage the development of knowledge in this area in the participants who are
motivated to develop such activities in their community and nearby schools.

Similarly, it is also expected that the knowledge imparted will be attractive to other people such as teachers and
representatives, so that this will encourage children to follow the path of petroleum engineering.

The best volunteer activity in which our student chapter participated were the student talks on the areas of
development of the oil industry, as this activity helped to develop the knowledge of the participants in various areas
of work in the industry, as well as helped the members to meet professional experts in the field and students who
are studying the career of petroleum engineering, as well as also provided the opportunity for students to express
their ideas and concerns about the areas of knowledge related to engineering.

were carried out during the management, standing out at all times for its responsibility and commitment to the
