Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) Awards on Monday announced the 11 winners of its 2015 edition.
Celebrating innovation and commitment to excellence in the energy sector, the awards were presented to eight category winners during the Adipec Awards gala dinner at the Emirates Palace.
Hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), the event concluded the opening day of Adipec 2015, one of the world's largest oil and gas events and a global meeting point for professionals in the energy sector.
Winning entries represented individuals, companies and projects that demonstrated qualities of merit, including ethical oversight, sustainability and benefit to the community - setting benchmarks for best practice in the region and worldwide.
The awards this year attracted wide international attention, receiving 501 submissions from more than 247 organisations in 32 countries. Posting continuous growth since their launch in 2010, the awards received 105 more submissions than last year, representing six more countries, and with the participation of 147 more organisations compared with 2014.
Abdul Munim Saif Al Kindy, chief executive officer of the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (Adco) and chairman of the Adipec Awards, said the Adipec Awards were established to highlight the exceptional efforts and work observed at local, regional and international levels.
"We have witnessed the development of the sector in the region through increasingly remarkable submissions year on year. In recognising these high levels of commitment and dedication, we hope to set new standards in the energy industry each year."
