The event, held at Aberdeen’s Satrosphere, included a keynote address by Dr Thakur.
He said: “It is important for each of the SPE sections to share best practice so that as a global society, we are working together to achieve the same aims.
“The Aberdeen section is demonstrating some real innovative thinking in the types of initiatives and events it offers, and the increasing number of members is extremely promising for both the section and the society as a whole.”
Masud Javaid, chairman of SPE Aberdeen, said: “It was enormously encouraging for us to be given the opportunity to meet Dr Thakur and hear about the important work the society is doing, and how our section is helping to contribute to the global industry.”
