𝗦𝗧𝗖 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 – 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗨 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗣𝗘 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲

As hosts of this year’s Student Technical Congress, we couldn’t be prouder of what we experienced together — not just as organizers, but as a student community.

A special highlight for us was the incredible performance of our TU Clausthal PetroBowl team, who secured an outstanding 2nd place at the PetroBowl European Championship 2026. Competing at such a high level, on home ground, made this achievement even more meaningful for our entire chapter.

Beyond the technical program, creating space for connection and exchange was just as important to us. On the final day of the congress, we hosted an SPE Chapters Exchange event — an opportunity for students from different universities to come together in a more relaxed setting.

We welcomed participants to our institute for a casual lunch, followed by an afternoon full of activities — from table football and table tennis to darts and basketball. It was great to see everyone unwind, connect, and simply enjoy the moment after a packed few days.

One of the highlights was our interactive Kahoot quiz, where each chapter shared fun facts about themselves, and everyone had to guess which chapter they belonged to. It sparked plenty of laughter, conversations, and friendly competition — exactly the kind of atmosphere we hoped to create.

Moments like these remind us that STC is not only about knowledge sharing, but also about building friendships, exchanging cultures, and strengthening the student network within SPE.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made these moments so special — we’re already looking forward to the next one!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our International Women’s Day – Student Edition, bringing together students, researchers, and professionals for an afternoon of inspiration, reflection, and meaningful discussions.

We were honored to welcome our speakers, who each shared unique perspectives:
Edna Michelle Bisso Bi Mba led a powerful session on “Invisible Barriers that are Holding Women (and some Men) Back at Work.” Inspired by Michelle King’s book The Fix, it encouraged us to reflect on how workplace structures, biases, and cultural norms shape career paths.

Gesa Netzeband presented “She Drives Energy,” highlighting the role of women in the energy sector and sharing insightful facts that sparked great discussion.

Dr.-Ing. Natalia Schaffel-Mancini, from the Equal Opportunity Office at TU Clausthal, gave us valuable insight into the important work being done to promote equality and support students.

The interactive workshop created a space for open exchange, where participants shared experiences, learned from each other, and explored ways to build more inclusive environments.

The day was filled with engaging conversations, new connections, and a great atmosphere — along with some well-deserved snacks! 💬✨

A big thank you to Technische Universität Clausthal and SPE Germany for making this event possible, and to our speakers for their inspiring contributions.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 – 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 | 𝗧𝗨 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗹

On 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟭𝟲, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, the SPE Student Chapter TU Clausthal will host a special International Women’s Day – Student Edition at the 𝗘𝘅𝘅𝗼𝗻𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟯:𝟬𝟬. The event will bring together speakers from industry and academia to share perspectives on careers in energy, leadership, and building more inclusive workplaces.

We are honored to welcome Edna Michelle Bisso Bi Mba, Gesa Netzeband, and Dr.-Ing. Natalia Schaffel-Mancini. Through their talks, they will share professional insights and personal perspectives on navigating careers, overcoming challenges, and shaping opportunities in the energy sector.

A key part of the session will focus on “𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘯) 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬.”
This discussion is inspired by Michelle King’s book The Fix and will serve as an impulse to reflect on how workplace structures, biases, and cultural norms can influence career development.

Following the talks, participants will take part in an interactive workshop in which groups will discuss specific questions related to these challenges and explore possible strategies for more inclusive professional environments.

Understanding these dynamics is particularly important for students preparing to enter the workforce. Gender equality is not about women versus men — it is about creating workplaces that work better for everyone.

The afternoon will also provide space to talk, connect, and network over snacks with fellow students and professionals.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required.

The SPE Ambassador Lecture Program (ALP), hosted by the SPE TU Clausthal Student Chapter on February 2nd at Technische Universität Clausthal, was a great success. We were glad to host Reinel Echavez Marquez and Mohamed Eita, who delivered engaging sessions for our students and faculty.

Reinel Echavez Marquez started by introducing SPE Young Professionals (YP) and explaining how SPE supports students and early-career engineers through networking, technical resources, and career development programs. His insights helped our members understand how to stay involved in SPE beyond university.

Mohamed Eita then led an interactive safety moment inspired by “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”, setting an energetic tone for the afternoon. He shared his career journey—from university to his role as Lead Field & Technical Support Engineer – Artificial Lift Systems at Baker Hughes—providing practical advice and inspiration.

Before his technical lecture on Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP), we hosted a technical quiz. Oğuzhan Vural won first place, showing excellent knowledge of ESP systems. His lecture covered ESP operation, applications, and gas management technologies, generating strong interest and discussion.

The event was well-attended by Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students, along with faculty from the Institute of Subsurface Energy Systems at TU Clausthal. This participation showed the growing interest in production technology and artificial lift systems within our university community.

We sincerely thank Baker Hughes for sponsoring the event. The program ended with a meet-and-greet, allowing students and young professionals to network, exchange ideas, and form valuable connections.

💡 Sirius ES at TU Clausthal
On January 20th, 2026, we had the pleasure of hosting Sirius ES for a company presentation at TU Clausthal.

A special thank you to Bianca Buchner and Philipp Wachtel for introducing us to Sirius ES and providing valuable insights into their work in drilling fluids, as well as the latest technologies and innovations being applied in demanding drilling projects across the oil, gas, and geothermal sectors.

The presentation offered a great opportunity to understand how drilling fluid solutions are implemented in real field operations, particularly in deep drilling and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects. It was especially beneficial for students to see the connection between academic knowledge and real industry challenges, operational requirements, and practical applications.

We truly appreciate the time, expertise, and experience shared with us. Sessions like this play an important role in bridging the gap between university studies and the professional world.

We express our sincere appreciation to Bianca Buchner, Philipp Wachtel, and Sirius ES for this valuable experience, sharing their expertise, and for taking the time to connect with us.

We wrapped up an incredible year with our SPE Christmas Party, kindly sponsored by FluidXlab, enjoying classic Christmas Market treats—from Glühwein to sausages—and great company 🎄✨

As we celebrated, we also took time to reflect on a truly eventful year. In 2025, we had the pleasure of hosting company presentations by Harbour Energy, H&P, Eavor, and Vinci Technologies. We took part in two exciting field trips: the Baker Hughes Beta Test Rig, the Barsinghausen Coal Mine and the Rehden Natural Gas Storage Facility. We also traveled to Freiberg, where we were hosted by the SPE Student Chapter at TU Bergakademie Freiberg for a chapter exchange and a company presentation by G.E.O.S.

Additionally, we hosted a Women’s Day event in collaboration with She Drives Energy, attended conferences in Vienna, Bucharest, and Houston, and participated in the PetroBowl competition in Paris. To top it all off, our SPE Student Chapter received the 2025 Presidential Award for Outstanding Student Chapter, and our own Malek Saleh placed third in the Master’s category of the SPE Student Paper Contest 🏆

As the year comes to an end, we are deeply grateful for our members, our faculty advisor, and the continued support from SPE Germany. We look forward to building on this momentum in the coming year with even more events and opportunities for our members.
