SPE Asia Pacific Regional Awards

Recognition of significant technical and professional contributions is a hallmark of SPE. In appreciation and to acknowledge exceptional contributions by members, awards will be presented by the 2012 SPE President, Dr. Ganesh Thakur, to the 2012 SPE Regional Award recipients. Presentations will be made in conjunction with the Monday topical luncheon to the recipients of the Distinguished Corporate Support Award, Service Award, Technical Awards, Outstanding Young Member Service Award and Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award.

Distinguished Corporate Support Award

The award recognises outstanding support by an organisation and distinguished service to SPE members in the region through excellence in leadership and through the commitment of time, energy and professional resources. It is intended to recognise companies that help make contributions to the support of SPE membership, programmes, and events and not solely through financial assistance to the society or the petroleum industry.
