BP’s Ultimate Field Trip 2014
What is the UFT?
 The Ultimate Field Trip, or UFT, is a team-based competition for students
studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
subjects.
 Students from all over the country form teams of three and put their talents
together to tackle a real-world energy challenge over four months.
 The UFT currently runs in the UK, the US, Trinidad & Tobago, Angola and
Canada. Each country’s winning team gets a place on a two-week
international field trip.
 From the start of the competition to the last day of the trip, the UFT is an
unforgettable and life-changing experience.
2014 Challenge
The problem:
 Energy companies consume large amounts of energy in running their
operations.
The challenge:
 More efficient use of energy.
 Identify an innovative solution that will significantly reduce energy
consumption and be implemented by 2025, with the potential to scale
across the energy industry. This could apply anywhere from point of capture
to point of sale of energy products, and potentially even create a new
product stream.
