Sclocchi Theses Award 2008: Award Ceremony
San Donato Milanese, December 11 2008
The winners of the 2008 Gustavo Sclocchi Awards were honoured at a special ceremony last December in
San Donato Milanese, Italy. The competition being held for the 16th time is for the best theses in geosciences
and petroleum engineering by university and diploma graduates, as well as PhDs, at Italian universities or by
Italian students abroad. The theses have to cover a subject related to geology, geophysics, formation
evaluation, well drilling and completion, reservoir engineering, production and transport, HSE, or energy
economics.
This contest is a joint initiative of EAGE, SPE Italian Section and Assomineraria, which is the Italian
Petroleum and Mining Industry Association, to encourage young students specializing in petroleum
engineering and geosciences. The awards started in 1993 and since 2001 they have been associated with
the name of Gustavo Sclocchi, the Eni manager, who was the main promoter of the event and who died
unexpectedly in Moscow in 2001. Over the last 16 years some 353 theses have been submitted of which 94
have won awards.
Six theses were awarded and four received an honourable mention. The officers of the three associations –
Thomas Lockart (SPE Italian Section), Davide Calcagni (EAGE), and Giancarlo Dossena (Assomineraria) warmly greeted the winners and presented them with a cash prize of 2400 euro each. The recipients of the
honourable mentions had a free membership for either SPE or EAGE for 2009.
