SPE Honors Peer Reviewers of Technical Papers

SPE created A Peer Apart in 2007 to recognize dedicated individuals 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.

In 2018, six individuals joined the group, bringing the total membership of A Peer Apart to 167 dedicated members.
