Description

INTRODUCTION
 
The YP Annual Roughneck Camp is a one day conference focused on networking and introducing new professionals, interns, and local college students to the industry. Typically, the main presentation at Roughneck Camp consists of a senior professional giving an overview of his or her experiences within the industry and SPE.  In addition, several breakout sessions including hands-on demonstrations are held throughout the day where the participants are exposed to different technologies related to the oilfield. Every year, one classroom plays a game of Oilfield Pictionary where we divide the group into two competing teams and review industry vocabulary in an enjoyable way.  Side topics in the past have included pursuing different types of careers within the industry, traveling abroad, and even graduate education while working. Roughneck Camp is a great way to learn about oil industry while having fun.
