There had been a growing realization amongst the geophysical community that the exchange of technical ideas and practical experience though important was lacking. With these thoughts in the background, a group of geophysicists resolved to form a Geophysical Society with its headquarters at Dehradun.
As a result, the Society of Petroleum Geophysicists, India was born on August 15, 1992, when about 30 Geophysicists met and resolved to form an association, for improved interaction and technical exchange. The Society was registered with the Registrar of Societies as a non-profit organization on January 4, 1993.
A competition to design a LOGO for SPG was held on August 15, 1993. The design finally accepted for the logo depicts an oil drop engraved with SPG. Seven waves below the drop signify seven sisters of Petroleum Exploration- Geophysics, Geology, Petrophysics, Geochemistry, Bio-Stratigraphy, Reservoir Engineering, and Drilling Engineering.
It gives me immense pleasure to write my maiden address to all the SPG members after taking over the responsibility of President,SPG,India. At this nostalgic moment, I feel great honor to take over the responsibility of society which was led by eminent geo scientists in the past. ..
