SMU Cox students Weston Emery (BBA '24), Jude Folmar (BBA '24), Dutch Mark (BBA '25) and Ricky Sharma (BBA '24), sponsored by the SMU Cox Maguire Energy Institute, took top honors in the undergraduate Energy Innovation Case Competition hosted by NAPE and the TCU Neeley School of Business at the annual NAPE Expo LP in Houston. Each year students are invited from top business schools to prove their knowledge and understanding of the energy industry. The students were given five hours to create a presentation on the benefits and disadvantages of upstream consolidation. Teams presented to industry expert judges that are leaders in the sector.
The four SMU Cox team members came away with a cash prize of $10,000 to be split evenly between them. The competition is part of the National Association of Petroleum Engineers’ NAPE Summit, which took place in Houston’s GRB Convention Center.
