The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Bahrain Section honoured Faisal Al Mahroos, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bapco Upstream, for being one of the founders of the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC).

 

"Al Mahroos is a leading figure in the oil and gas industry. His dedication and contributions span over decades and have been invaluable to the industry in Bahrain, the Mena region and the Eastern Hemisphere," SPE said in a statement.
