OPES Awards

The SPE Conference at Oman Petroleum & Energy Show (OPES) aims to encompass a very rich technical programme featuring industrial leaders, with OPES Awards enforcing OPES’s focus on industrial applications, technology and project implementations, and bridging the concept-practice gaps.

The awards are to recognise the advancements made, the achievements attained, and excellence in major industrial fronts. The expected high number of submissions for the awards will certainly enhance the knowledge and experience sharing in the industry that are as valuable as the presented high-quality papers and the distinguished and expert panels.

The prestigious OPES Awards will offer a platform to outline the levels of advancements and progress achieved, painting a view of where the industry is heading.
