After 30 years of continuous membership with SPE and at the age of 65, a member is automatically upgraded to Senior Member. Senior Members receive a 50-percent reduction in membership fees. A 30-year member who is retired at age 60 may submit a written request to SPE Customer Service for senior member status.
Legion of Honor
After 50 years of continuous membership in SPE, a member is automatically inducted into the Legion of Honor. Members in the Legion of Honor are exempt from dues. They also receive a certificate and lapel pin in honor of their achievement, free registration for all SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibitions, and recognition in the Journal of Petroleum Technology.
A Peer Apart Recognition
We recognize the dedicated members who have been involved in the peer review of 100 or more papers. Members who commit their time to peer review papers make substantial contributions to the industry’s literature by helping to ensure that the papers published in SPE’s technical journals are of the highest quality. Over time, these individuals volunteer hundreds of hours to the Society, making SPE journals a valuable resource for the industry.
