Which region ranks third in SPE professional membership?

Which region ranks third in SPE professional membership?

• A. Europe
• B. Middle East
• C. Africa
• D. North America

Answer: (B)

This item looks at how SPE membership is spread across regions. North America has the largest membership because of its long-standing oil and gas industry and big engineering community, followed by Europe with a strong engineering and energy sector. The Middle East ranks third, reflecting heavy oil and gas activity and a sizable professional base, though its total membership is still smaller than North America and Europe. Africa typically has fewer members and trails behind the other regions. So, the region that comes in third is the Middle East.
