Praxis Program Managers Comments IOR/EOR Conference, Istanbul, March 2012. "Paul – I am truly happy you were an integral part of the workshop. Your contribution at the workshop has been exceptional. You brought a tremendous level of knowledge and with it value to the workshop, and the last minute presentations you put together definitely helped in compensating for the speaker shortage on Day 4. But what stood out the most was your level of commitment and dedication in making this workshop a success. Thank You. Having someone of your level of experience and expertise but above all with your level of commitment is truly hard to find, and was definitely one of the most valuable assets to this workshop. The quality of the topics you generated for the interactive breakout discussion has been top notch, this was evident from the long discussions it generated. Your guidance and contributions during the interactive breakouts have been invaluable as well."
PDO - Winner of Director’s Award in 2006, and Chairman’s Bronze Award in 2006 in recognition of “Musallim Geosteering Trials” – evaluating and scoring latest vendor technologies for attic oil recovery.
Van Weelden Award of the European Society of Exploration Geophysicists in recognition of his paper "Finite Difference and Wavenumber Migration," presented at the 39th Meeting of the EAEG in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, 1978. Eligibility for the Van Weelden Award is restricted to authors under the age of 30 years at the time of submission. Dr. Hood’s presentation sets an excellent example for our Society when measured by any standard. His treatment of a difficult topical subject clearly reflected the original research effort that he personally has applied in this field. He is to be congratulated for a ‘first’ presentation at an EAEG meeting that was well conceived, supported by scientific reasoning and executed with considerable poise and persuasion.
Represented the UK in International military quadrathlons (CIOR), Norway 1974, Athens 1975.
