2009 Annual SPE Students' Chapter Awards & Dinner

25 September 2009

The SPE Students’ Chapter Awards and Dinner was held at the Sydney Masonic Centre on 25 September which was a huge success. This event is an opportunity for students to meet with industry representatives and familiarize themselves with their organisations activities.

We thank this year’s sponsors who made a significant contribution to the success of the evening.

A special thanks to the very interesting presentations by

• David Bailey, General Manager – WorleyParsons,
• Nathan Rayner, General Manager – Arrow Energy,
• Tamara Sebire – Vice President – Reservoir Development - Woodside Energy,
• Philip Hirschhorn – Boston Consulting Group.

The students are most grateful to all presenters for their valuable time and the effort that they spent on their presentations. In many cases, the presenters had to travel to Sydney for the Annual Awards and Dinner which is most appreciated.

Our congratulations to the recipients of this year’s Awards –
