The Society
of Professional Women in Petroleum is incorporated as a non-profit organization that
was formed in early 1981.
The organization was formed to support professional career
women in the petroleum industry through technology and information.
Through monthly breakfast meetings and special seminars,
SPWP covers all aspects of drilling and production operations
and constantly seeks to further expand these parameters of
knowledge. Much of this is achieved through the tremendous
support of the companies and the individuals who appreciate
SPWPs serious dedication and share this technology and information.
SPWP’s membership consists of women who have active
careers in oil related fields, such as Engineering, Geology
Sales, Research, Finance, Law, Quality Assurance, Purchasing,
Advertising and Marketing. Memberships are available through
sponsorship.
SPWP
provides scholarships to Houston-area high school seniors
entering a Texas college. This scholarship promotes young
women in need of financial aid. Our scholarship fund
is a direct result of our member's dedication to promoting
education.
The Houston petroleum industry and SPWP membership support
our fund raisers. Our fundraisers to date have included
crawfish boils, barbecues, golf tournaments and casino
nights.
