SPWLA ANNOUNCEMENT Dear Boris, Every year at the Annual Symposium your Society chooses to recognize a few individuals who have either made significant technical contributions to the field of Petrophysics or have provided exemplary service to the Society. It is in this regard that I, as Chairman of the Awards Committee, am writing to you to request nominations for these awards. The actual nomination form was mailed to you in your dues statement October 31. It has also been published in Petrophysics and is available on-line from the SPWLA website. You can also contact the business office if you can not locate a copy (sharon@spwla.org). To provide you some perspective on this matter, I have included a list of past recipients of the various awards. You have probably heard of some of these people, which will give you a reference point when nominating someone for the same award. Please e-mail your award nominations to robert.terry@bp.com before the end of December in order for them to be considered.
