The SPE Technical Knowledge for Graduating Engineers Matrix

A survey was created and sent to 109 companies (including international and national oil companies, as well as mid-size companies and companies in the service sector). Companies were asked to rank each knowledge set as follows:

• "Required" (indispensable),
• "Valued" (desired, but not necessary), or
• "Not required" (not necessary or not applicable)
