Welcome, delegate! Energy – we need it. Every aspect of today’s developing world depends on energy. From our transportation and use of electricity up to the food that we eat on the daily, energy certainly plays a crucial role in sustaining our society. It is undeniable that the world continues to grow more and progress each day but along with it increases the demand for more energy. Although renewable sources are already being developed to keep up with the rising demand of society, none of them have been able to contribute a significant amount of energy to the world. Oil and gas will remain to be the lifeblood of our industrialized world for decades to come. With this rising global energy demand, the oil and gas industry faces a wide array of challenges and opportunities across the upstream, midstream, downstream and oilfield services sectors. The oil price environment is forcing major change and difficult decisions within the industry where existing operating models are being challenged and new approaches are being sought to respond to market supply and demand dynamics, environmental concerns, and the high costs associated with developing unconventional resources. Although the Philippine’s oil and gas industry is relatively young, it is still a progressive and competitive landscape.

objectives

Aside from generating smarter technologies and much more advanced solutions, we are also aiming to produce a generation of innovators that will be ready to face the challenging problems of the oil and gas industry today and in the near future. This is why the Society of Petroleum Engineers

“

…to produce a generation of innovators that will be ready to face the challenging problems of the oil and gas industry Palawan State University Student Chapter will hold the 1st ever Philippine Oil and Gas Student Summit 2018 with the theme “Fronting Energy Innovation, Optimizing Energy Solutions”. As young professionals and the next leaders of our generation, we acknowledge that we need to excel more than ever and strive to push the boundaries of our industry. The future is unpredictable and it is harder for our generation but together we will be resilient and ready for the challenges ahead of us. It is time to come together and front innovations for more optimized solutions in the 2018 Philippine Oil and Gas Student Summit.

Philippine Oil and Gas Student Summit

- Representative from each university must complete the registration forms and submit it before the due date given.

- All presentations, verbal communications and written documentations for the competition should be conveyed in English.

The competition’s rules and regulations are subject to changes. Any changes, clarification will be shared directly to the involved universities via email or during the technical meeting.

COMPETITION FORMAT The games will be carried out based on the single elimination in which the teams compete and the winning team (team with highest points) will advance to the next stage.

Any detailed rules will be explained during the technical meeting. POGSS Petroearth competition will be conducted in three stages: preliminary, semi-final and final.

TOURNAMENT OFFICIALS - Judges: Each game will have three judges. Every judges’ decisions concerning compliance to the rules are final.

- Moderator: Each game will have a moderator. There may be two moderators to share the responsibility. The moderator(s) will read the questions, consult judges as needed to determine the correctness of an answer, award and deduct points, and otherwise enforce the rules of competition. The judges have right whether moderator can repeat the question or not.

- Scorekeeper: Each game will have at least one scorekeeper. The scorekeeper(s) will keep the oﬃcial score and individual statistics. Once the scorekeeper has declared the oﬃcial score, games will be considered final.

- Timekeeper: Each game will have one timekeeper. The timekeeper will enforce time limits and supervise the game clock.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENT - During the competition, each team in the current game will be given a “buzzer” – an electronic device determining the participant who buzzes in to answer a question first.

- Each team is responsible for ensuring their buzzer are in state of good condition before the game starts.

question will be replayed but subjected to the judges.

Only the toss up questions can be replayed subject to the moderator’s ruling that the malfunction impacted play of that question.

Competitors will be provided with paper, pencils and erasers. Calculator will be provided by the committee to avoid from any cheating.

Textbook, cheat sheet, gadgets and any electronic devices besides calculator and buzzer or any reference materials are strictly prohibited during this competition.

All games will be timed and will use a clock clearly visible to both teams.

opportunity to answer the toss-up. Repeated violations can result in ejection and/or disqualification per the “Ethics and Conduct” rules.

Once a player has buzzed in, a tournament oﬃcial will verbally recognize the player by team name and contestant name. If a player repeatedly responds before being recognized, tournament oﬃcials reserve the right to invalidate that player’s response, turning the question over to the other team, if applicable.

The player who buzzed in and is recognized by the moderator may not confer verbally or otherwise with teammates (or spectators). Should this occur, the player will lose the chance to respond to the question, and the opposing team will be allowed to answer the question.

Alternately, the question may be thrown out if necessary at the discretion of tournament oﬃcials. Repeated violations can result in ejection and/or disqualification per the “Ethics and Conduct” rules.

If a player buzzes in before the moderator has finished reading, the moderator will stop at that point. If the answer given is incorrect, the moderator will finish the question for other teams only.

An answer to a toss-up must begin within 5 seconds after the player has been recognized. An answer after the time keeper says “Time” will be treated as a no answer. Ties between the player and the timekeeper are decided in favour of the player.

Players have 5 seconds to buzz in after the moderator has finished reading the toss-up. If the player answers incorrectly, the other team will then have 5 additional seconds to buzz in.

Some questions may permit more time, which will be noted specifically by the question.

Decisions as to whether players have exceeded the allotted time to buzz in or to answer may be rendered only by the tournament oﬃcials and are not contestable.

Each toss-up question is worth 10 points. Score will be reduced 10 points if the answer is wrong.

TIME - Tardiness of more than 5 minutes from the scheduled match time may result in a forfeit, unless the lateness is the fault of the tournament, or the tournament oﬃcials are satisfied with other good cause.

- The judges and moderator may consider the question cannot be answered if the participants take too long to answer a particular question.

- The clock should not stop except:

1. When stopped by a tournament oﬃcial to resolve a problem or to replace a question.

2. At the end of the half or game.

3. When moderator needs extra questions because of replacement of questions or overtime.

4. The clock used by the time keeper is the oﬃcial time and is not contestable.

QUESTIONS - Every game is divided into three particular types of question:

-Toss-up Questions

-Bonus Questions

- Toss-up Questions: - A player may use the buzzer to answer a toss-up -

question at any point after the moderator has begun reading the questions.

There will be no transmission of signal between team members (or from the audience) to indicate who will buzz in on a toss-up question. Verbal signals written signals, hand motions, head motions, eye contact, and anything else constructed as transmission of signal by the tournament oﬃcials.

A SPE Palawan State University SC Event

Philippine Oil and Gas Student Summit

- Bonus Questions: - Participants will obtain a bonus question if the answer is correct in the tossup round. These types of questions lend themselves well to multiple-part questions, though it is not required.

Petroearth Competition Guidelines (3 of 3) - Bonus questions can be multi-part, allowing partial credit; however, all bonus questions must be worth a total of 20 points.

- Examples:

“For 5 points each, name 4 methods to…”

“For 10 points each, name the 2 companies that…”

III. “For 20 points, what is the…”

A team has 25 seconds to answer a bonus question. The 25 seconds starts when the moderator has finished reading the question. If the moderator is asked to repeat the question – the time will still be counting down.

After 25 seconds, the moderator will prompt the team for an answer. Once prompted, the team captain (or the team member he/she designates) must immediately begin answering or forfeit the opportunity to answer.

A team may begin its answer before the moderator is finished reading all of a bonus question. In such cases, the moderator stops reading when the team begins its answer. If the bonus contains another part, and the first part was answered correctly, the moderator then reads the next part of the question.

Each bonus question is worth up to 20 points and any other team’s answer will not be accepted.

Questions are intended to test the contestant’s knowledge of Petroleum Engineering and the Petroleum Industry. Questions may include

history, trivia, current events, technical questions, calculations and problem solving.

Suggested (but not all inclusive) list of study materials as possible sources of questions: I. Academic: Technical, Fundamentals of Petroleum Engineering II. Non-Academic: Industry Statistics, History, Trivia, Current Events.

- Correct Answers: - Only first answer given by a competitor will be -

accepted by the moderator except for multiple answer questions and situations.

Common acronyms and abbreviations are often acceptable (e.g., chemical symbols, state postal abbreviations, organizational acronyms), unless they appear in the question, in which case the moderator may prompt the player to expand the acronym or abbreviation.

If a question requires multiple answers, a player may provide the responses in any order (unless otherwise specified).

If a question asks to identify an answer from a list, the player must name the exact answer (e.g., NOT “the second thing you read” or “the one that started with F”).

Petrosmart Competition Guidelines ABOUT The Petrosmart Competition is one of the main highlights among all competitions that will be held in POGSS. Students will be competing against other teams in fast-paced quiz competition. Each team will be questioned with technical and non-technical questions related to the oil and gas industry meanwhile putting their knowledge to the test. It will be held on the 2nd of March 2018 on SM City Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

PARTICIPANTS - Each team must source from compliant SPE Student Chapters of the Asia Pacific region.

- Each SPE Student Chapter can only provide several number of teams.

- Each team will consist of no more than four (4) members. There will be no specific qualification criteria for each team.

- Each team is required to identify one (1) team captain. The team captain is responsible for all team-related decisions and correspondence with the organizers.

GAME FORMAT - The Petrosmart Competition follows a time-based s t y l e a s i n S P E I n t e r n a t i o n a l P e t ro B o w l Championship, which follows a standard single elimination bracket-style process in which two teams compete and the winning team (team with most points at end of each round) advances to the next round.

TOURNAMENT OFFICIALS - Judges: Each round will have a maximum of THREE(3) judges. All judges' decisions concerning compliance to the rules and awarding of points will be final.

- Moderator: Each game will have at least ONE(1) moderator. The moderator will read the questions at a suitable pace, consult judges to determine the competence of answers, award and deduct points, and otherwise enforce the rules of competition. Questions will not be projected on a screen unless they specifically require “Visual Aids”, in which case the moderator will clearly direct participants’ attention to a screen.

- Scorekeeper: Each game will have at least ONE(1)

scorekeeper. The scorekeeper will keep the oﬃcial score and individual statistics. Games will not be considered final until the scorekeeper has declared the oﬃcial score.

Timekeeper: Each game will have one timekeeper. The timekeeper will enforce time limits and supervise the game clock.

EQUIPMENT & MATERIALS - At the Petrosmart Competition, each player will be provided with a buzzer or another electronic device that determines which player buzzes in to answer a question first.

- Each player is responsible for monitoring whether his or her own buzzer is operating properly throughout the game.

- If a player believes a buzzer is malfunctioning, it is the player’s responsibility to alert tournament oﬃcials immediately. The current toss-up question will be finished and, if a player from the other team buzzed in, the player will be required to answer per normal protocol. Tournament oﬃcials will then stop the competition and attempt to reproduce the alleged buzzer malfunction. If it is recreated, the question will be discarded; if the malfunction cannot be recreated and the buzzers are deemed to be performing as designed, the other team’s answer will stand. Enforcement of this rule is subject to the moderator’s ruling that the malfunction impacted play of that question.

- If the buzzer system is ultimately deemed to be inoperable by the moderator, an alternative method (such as the “table slap” method) may be used. Teams will be fully briefed on the protocol of any such methods by the moderator before proceeding.

- All games will be timed and a clock will be clearly visible to both teams.

- Players will be provided paper, pens and pencils.

- Non-programmable calculators will be provided by the organizers.

- Players may not use any form of reference materials during the game.

Players and schools are responsible for any liability arising from their conduct while at the competition. Any purposeful act of dishonesty or an act which does not conform to the spirit of the competition, observed by any tournament oﬃcial, will be considered cause for expulsion from the competition. Please refer to Ethics and Conduct section from SPEI.

Time: - Tardiness of more than 5 minutes from the scheduled match time may result in a forfeit, unless the lateness is the fault of the tournament or the tournament oﬃcials are satisfied with other good causes.

- In all rounds, the clock starts when the moderator begins reading the first toss-up question. The time structure of each round is as follows:

- All rounds before the Elite Eight will consist of “half games” of 8-minutes with no intermission.

- In the Fifth place matches, Elite Eight and Final Four rounds, each game will consist of two 8-minutes halves with a brief intermission between them.

- The Championship, Third Place and Fifth Seed rounds will consist of two 10-minute halves with a brief intermission between them.

- When the clock sounds the end of time, the half or game shall end, except in the following scenarios:

- A player who has buzzed in on a toss-up question can answer that toss-up. If answered correctly, earns a bonus question. If answer is incorrect, the other team will be given the chance to answer the toss-up question and earn a bonus question. A team will be read the entire bonus question, even if time expires during the bonus or before the bonus is read. Teams will be advised of their timing limitations by the timekeeper.

- The team with more points at the end of the game wins. In the event of a tie (for single elimination bracket system only) :

- There will be an overtime period consisting of three toss-up questions. Bonuses are not used in overtime.  If the game is still tied after three toss-up questions, the moderator will continue to read toss-up questions until the score changes. A score change can happen if one team answers correctly and receives points to win the game or one team answers incorrectly and is given

negative points, in which case the other team wins by default.

The clock shall not stop, except:

- When an appeal has been expressed by the captain of a competing team.

- When stopped by a tournament oﬃcial to resolve a problem or to replace a question.

- At the end of the half or game.

- When a moderator needs extra questions because of replacement of questions or overtime.

The clock used by the timekeeper is the oﬃcial time and is not contestable.

Type of Questions: - Each round uses 1) Toss Up questions worth 10 points each, accompanied with 2) Bonus Questions worth 10 points each. A team receives a bonus question for each toss-up question correctly answered by one of its players (except in overtime).

- Questions are selected from a pre-screened question bank. If the question bank is depleted, the moderator may resort to using back-up questions which could consist of questions from previous competitions.

- Questions are intended to test the contestants’ knowledge of petroleum engineering and the petroleum industry. Questions may include history, trivia, current events, technical questions, calculations, and problem solving.

- Toss-up Questions:

- A player may “buzz in” (using his/her buzzer) to answer a toss-up question at any point after the moderator has begun reading the question. There will be no signaling between team members (or from the audience) to indicate who will buzz in on a toss-up question.

- Restricted signaling includes verbal signals, written signals, hand motions, head motions, eye contact, and anything else construed as signaling by the tournament oﬃcials.

- Violation of the signaling rules could, subject to moderator, result in forfeiture of opportunity to answer the toss-up question. Repeated violations can result in ejection and/or disqualification per the “Ethics and Conduct” rules.

- Once a player has buzzed in, a tournament oﬃcial will verbally recognize the team and the player. If a player repeatedly responds before being recognized, tournament oﬃcials reserve the right to invalidate that player’s response, turning the question over to the other team, if

Page 18 of 20

Petrosmart Competition Guidelines (3 of 4)

turning the question over to the other team, if applicable.

- The player who buzzed in and is recognized by the moderator may NOT confer verbally or otherwise with teammates (or spectators). Should this occur, the player will lose the chance to respond to the question, and the opposing team will be allowed to answer, if applicable. Alternately, the question may be thrown out if necessary at the discretion of tournament oﬃcials. Repeated violations can result in ejection and/or disqualification per the “Ethics and Conduct” rules.

- If a player buzzes in before the moderator has finished reading, the moderator will stop at that point. If the answer given is incorrect, the moderator will re-read the entire question for the benefit of the other team.

- An answer to a toss-up question must begin within 5 seconds after the player has been recognized.

- An answer started after the timekeeper has said "Time" will be treated as no answer. Ties between the player and the timekeeper are decided in favour of the player.

- Players have 5 seconds to buzz in after the moderator has finished reading the toss-up question.

- If the player answers incorrectly, the other team will then have 5 additional seconds to buzz in. Some questions may permit more time, which will be noted specifically by the question.

- Decisions as to whether players have exceeded the allotted time to buzz in or to answer may be rendered only by the tournament oﬃcials and are not contestable.

- Each correct answer to a toss-up question is worth 10 points. An incorrect answer will be assessed a 5-point penalty.

Bonus questions:

- Teams may confer on bonus questions.

- On bonus questions, the team captain will give the answer or explicitly designate another team member to give the answer. Any other player’s answer will not be accepted.

- Unless advised by the Moderator, a team has

15 seconds to answer a bonus question. The 15 seconds starts when the moderator finishes reading the question. If the moderator is asked to repeat the question – the time will still be counting down. After 15 seconds, the moderator will prompt the team for an answer. Once prompted, the team captain (or the team member he designates) must immediately begin answering or forfeit the opportunity to answer.

- A team may begin its answer before the moderator is finished reading the bonus question. In such cases, the moderator stops reading when the team begins its answer. If the bonus contains another part, and the first part was answered correctly, the moderator then reads the next part of the question.

- Each bonus question is worth up to 10 points. There will not be a penalty for incorrect answers to bonus questions.

Correct Answers:

- The moderator will accept only the first answer given by a player, except for multiple answer questions and situations enumerated below.

- Only the first portion of a multi-part answer to a singular question will be considered, even if the rest of the answer contains the correct response. For example, if a player says “Nixon, Watergate,” the moderator will consider only “Nixon.” The Moderator reserves the right to request participants to repeat their answer and/or elaborate upon a response on a case-by-case basis.

- Modifying words before the first noun of a response are considered as one answer with the noun.

- Extraneous information preceding a response is disregarded (e.g., “What is a wombat?” or “They're all Californians”), unless the moderator determines that the extraneous information was given in an unsporting attempt to delay the game, in which case the response is treated as incorrect (in addition to any other penalty for misconduct). Harmless or inadvertent embellishment of responses will not be penalized, so long as the embellishment does not make the response wrong.

- If a question requires multiple answers, a player may provide the responses in any order (unless otherwise specified), without a pause
