At the international level, achievements were also made through the PetroBowl competition.

In line with this, the 2026 Integrated Petroleum Festival (IPFEST) also had a wide-reaching impact. Organized jointly with HMTM 鈥淧ATRA鈥� 51探花 and IATMI SM 51探花, the event attracted more than 1,200 participants from Indonesia and abroad, and showcased innovation through a Hackathon competition in collaboration with various industry partners.

Beyond focusing on competitions, SPE 51探花 SC also provided hands-on field experience through the Big Field Trip program to Pertamina EP Cepu and the Sukowati Field. During this activity, students had the opportunity to observe industrial operations firsthand and engage in discussions with professionals, thereby gaining a real-world understanding of how knowledge is applied in the field.

Appreciation for the consistency and quality of SPE 51探花 SC also came from the 2026 SPE President, Jennifer L. Miskimins. She noted that SPE 51探花 SC has demonstrated its role as an active student chapter that excels technically and is globally connected.

Through these various achievements, SPE 51探花 SC has not only established a track record of success but has also created opportunities for students to grow.
