14th Annual Plays & Clays – SPE Permian Basin Clay Shoot 2026

Aim High for Education at the SPE Permian Basin Clay Shoot—a day of shooting, networking, and meaningful impact in support of the next generation of energy professionals.

Join the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Permian Basin Chapter on Friday, April 17, 2026, at Jake’s Guns & Clays in Midland for this highly anticipated annual fundraiser.

This event goes beyond the competition. Every registration directly supports the SPE Permian Basin Scholarship Fund, helping local students pursue careers in petroleum engineering, STEM fields, and the broader energy industry.

Through the continued support of events like this, SPE has awarded $155,000 in scholarships to local students and contributed an additional $45,000 toward STEM programs across the Permian Basin. This year, we aim to build on that impact and further invest in education and workforce development.
