2007 Engineering Innovation

Judges choose top 15 industry projects

The E&P editors and staff proudly present the winners of the prestigious 2007 Special Meritorious Awards for Engineering Innovation. Below are the 15 awards the independent team judges picked as best of the 2007 crop of entries. The winners reached across a broad range of disciplines and addressed a number of problems that posed roadblocks to efficient operations. The resulting technologies opened new and better avenues to the complicated process of finding and producing hydrocarbons around the world.

Contest judges chose the winners, but there were no losers in this contest.

The products chosen represented the best of a long list of winners.

The expert panel of judges included engineers and engineering managers from operating and consulting companies worldwide. They applied their expertise in areas in which they specialize. Judges were excluded from categories in which they or their companies had a business interest.

E&P would like to thank these distinguished judges for their efforts in selecting the winners in this year¹s competition.

As in past years, E&P will present the 2007 awards at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, Texas, April 30.

An entry form for the 2008 Special Meritorious Awards for Engineering Innovation contest is available at the magazine’s Web site at www.eandp.info. Entries will be accepted any time after April 1, 2007. The deadline for entries for 2008 is Dec. 7, 2007.
