Honors and Awards – Nominations are due Feb. 15, 2009
Peer recognition is an important aspect of every professional organization. SPE members make many outstanding and significant technical, professional, and service contributions to the petroleum industry. The SPE Honors and Awards Program recognizes these significant technical and professional contributions to the worldwide oil and gas industry and to the petroleum engineering profession and exceptional service to the Society and to the greater community.
Award committees appointed by the SPE President-elect and approved by the SPE International Board of Directors select SPE International award recipients. Nominations are accepted directly from the SPE membership and from SPE Regions. It is not necessary for a candidate to have received a Regional award to be considered for an SPE International award. Submit International award nominations to SPE staff at awards@spe.org. The deadline to submit SPE International Award nominations is February 15.
