Club Member, Dr. Muhammad M. Al-Saggaf, has been awarded the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Lester C. Uren Technical Excellence International Award and the SPE Distinguished Member International Award.
The Lester C. Uren Award, established in 1963, recognizes distinguished achievement in the technology of petroleum engineering by a member who made the contribution before age 45. The Distinguished Member Award, established in 1983, recognizes SPE members who achieve distinction deemed worthy of special recognition and acknowledges members who have attained eminence in the petroleum industry or the academic community, and who have made unusually significant contributions to SPE.
Winning the prestigious Lester C. Uren Award makes Muhammad the first Saudi to win an SPE international technical award. It also gives him the distinction of being the only person worldwide to have won an international technical award as a petroleum engineer (SPE Lester C. Uren Award) and as a geophysicist (the Society of Exploration Geophysicists J. Clarence Karcher Award, ten years ago).
