Guidebook exchange/update

Congratulations to all who took the Petroleum PE Exam in 2018 this fall. Pass or fail, you are the elite. Most petroleum engineers never take this plunge. And honestly, can you blame them? The petroleum PE exam is a monster, pure and simple. I'd rather take the bar!

The 2018 #3 Guidebook (3rd printing, Oct. 2018) is the latest version (what you get from Amazon). I'm happy to exchange any older (non-plagiarized) Guidebooks. Even if you passed the exam don't hesitate to exchange because many continue to use it in the years to come. See exchange instructions below.

My purpose in this space has always been to help fellow engineers (via blog, Guidebook, and problems) as time allows because there are so few resources out there. I hope to continue this tradition and stay available for questions/comments (use a recent comment section or email to reach me).

I've also now 240 practice problems on Amazon Kindle (written on request from blog readers). They are organized into groups of 40 so you can get only what you need. They are digital to keep them inexpensive plus available for immediate download. And if on a budget most of these problems and solutions can accessed for free on the left side of this blog. On the right side of the blog are even more free problems solved using the Guidebook similar to the 2005 SPE practice exam.


TO EXCHANGE: First contact me (use a recent blog comment or email) so I can have a copy ready & give you an address. Then mail the following:

1. Self-addressed, USPS stamped 9x12 envelope (no UPS or FedX). 
2. Old Guidebook (*or just include the front & back covers, copyright plus few odd pages).
3. Where you got it.
4. Toss in $5 cash to cover printing (if on a budget, don't worry about it).
5. No guarantees. I'll return a copy ASAP (first-come-first-serve; for fast/guaranteed, use Amazon).

2014 Practice Exam - Reader Question

In a prior comment box somebody asked: "What is the solution to SPE 2014 practice test question 43 or 92?"

I haven't looked at this practice exam closely so can't answer him. Does anyone have an answer they can put below in this comment box?
