The Society of Petroleum Engineers is accepting nominations for its annual awards, including international and regional Health, Safety, and Environments awards and Sustainability and Stewardship awards. The deadline for international award nominations is 15 February, and the deadline for regional award nominations is 1 March.
“HSE and Sustainability is the smallest of the eight SPE technical disciplines,” said Technical Director Annamaria Petrone, “but we have a great deal to contribute to regional, section, and chapter activities.”
SPE’s international awards recognize individuals who make significant technical and professional contributions to the petroleum engineering profession and to the worldwide oil and gas industry. These award recipients are announced in July, and the awards are presented during SPE’s Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition.
The regional awards recognize members who contribute exceptional service and leadership within SPE, as well as those who make significant professional contributions within their technical disciplines at the SPE regional level. These awards are presented at the appropriate SPE region or SPE section meeting.
