The call was attended by activists of the Gubkin University SPE Student Chapter, as well as representatives of other SPE Student Chapters from Imperial College London (the United Kingdom) and The Fluminense Federal University (Brazil).

At the beginning of the call, a small ice-breaking was held, in which representatives of the universities told about themselves, why they decided to join SPE and what projects they are involved in.

Then the representatives of Gubkin University SPE Student Chapter spoke about the main activities of their section, as well as its structure. Particular attention was paid to the XII International Youth Scientific & Practical Congress “Oil and Gas Horizons“, which, despite all the restrictions associated with COVID-19 took place in 2020 in the online format.

Then the representatives of the SPE Imperial College London enlightened the structure of their section. At the end of their presentation, there was a small discussion of the ratio of Petroleum Engineering Bachelor’s and Master’s programs against Renewable energy programs. And as the participants have figured out, the main energy course in the UK is aimed at renewable energy sources. It was also noted that there is a particular relevance for the energy industry of Master's programs teaching working with big data.

The last speaker was a representative of the SPE Universidade Federal Fluminense section. He spoke about the main difficulties and changes in projects related to the pandemic. He also noted the special significance of the PetroUFF project, within which various lectures, master classes, etc. are held.

At the end of the video conference, the participants discussed the main topic of the call – Ecology in the oil and gas industry. Representatives of the sections spoke about the environmental policies of the largest companies in their countries, as well as about recent environmental disasters.
