The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), one of the world’s leading energy events, has announced the 33 shortlisted entries across eight categories for the 2015 edition of the ADIPEC Awards.

The distinguished and internationally coveted accolades celebrate achievement in energy, and recognise the leading companies, individuals, initiatives, projects, and technologies that have demonstrated excellence – further cementing Abu Dhabi’s position as a global hub for knowledge-exchange in the oil and gas industry.

Driving the ADIPEC Awards growth and success is the pressing need for sharing best and sustainable practice, says Mr. Abdul Munim Saif Al Kindy, Chief Executive Officer of the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations Ltd., (ADCO), and ADIPEC Awards Chairman.

“Today, companies are looking for ways they can optimise their operational efficiencies and sustainably enhance exploration and production while meeting the world’s growing demand for energy,” Mr. Al Kindy said.“The Awards enable industry peers to shed light on some of the world’s greatest projects, people, and ideas. This dissemination of knowledge and best practice is critical now more than ever in today’s evolving energy landscape.”
