The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), held annually in Houston, on Tuesday announced the winners of their 2023 Spotlight on New Technology Award.
The organizers say that the awards are given exclusively to OTC exhibitors "who are reshaping the offshore energy sector through innovation and developing technologies."
This year, 15 technologies, 7 of them from small businesses, were selected due to their advancements in the industry.
"The award recipients are exceptional as they were selected based on the following criteria: product uniqueness, the degree of ingenuity, demonstrated success, commercial viability, and the ability to make a significant impact across the offshore industry," OTC organizers explain.
“At OTC we take pride in recognizing the companies transforming the future of the offshore energy sector. The Spotlight on New Technology Award is one of the many ways we like to show our appreciation. Revolutionizing the field is no easy task. It requires collaboration, intense consistency, and the brightest minds in the industry to drive innovation.
