About MIST Student Chapter
Student chapters are located around the world and provide an operating framework for society activities at a university level. By the hands of Dr AKM Badrul Alam the SPE Student Chapter – MIST has been approved by to SPE International in April 2021. It is affiliated to SPE – Bangladesh Section. MIST SPE Student Chapter is growing with the vision of providing continuous personal and professional growth will bring the opportunity for students to organize and participate in technical and non-technical events, engage in technical discussions, network with industry professionals, and learn more about the oil & gas industry. The Student Chapter aims to organize various events such as virtual panel discussion, talk on career opportunities, quiz on oil-gas and mineral extraction, seminar on oil and gas industry, national conference on advances in petroleum science and technology and ore extraction.
Purpose:
- Connect industry and academia to foster collaboration, training, and internships and enhance placement opportunities.
- Introduce members to the latest industrial trends and developments.
- Representability and personality development.
Objective:
- Organizing seminars on petroleum and mining topics by eminent industry professional or academicians.
- Conducting skill development workshops for members of our student chapter. These focus both on developing soft skills as well as enhancing their academic repertoire and ensuring the students stay up-to-date on the latest industry trends.

This workshop aims to introduce the basic structure of Python programming for machine learning in the field of petroleum and mining engineering. This workshop was held for 3 days. In this workshop, students gathered the basic knowledge of the Python programming language and it's application in the petroleum industry. A total of 60 students participated through online platforms, and those who successfully completed the workshop were awarded with certificates.
A distinguished lecture on physics-embedded machine learning for modelling and optimization of mature fields was organized by the SPE MIST student chapter in December 2023. In this lecture, the importance of integration of physics-embedded models with machine learning was focused on. The distinguished lecturer gave an insightful lecture on the aspects of physics embedded in models and the factors that come with the optimization of the mature fields. This lecture also highlighted the challenges of working with the mature fields and how valuable these fields can be for history matching and forecasting the condition using machine learning. A total of 160 participants—students and industrial professionals—participated in this lecture.
