Technology evolves from the fertile minds
of individuals, and is nurtured by the culture and vision of companies and
organizations. The oil and gas industry, especially the offshore, owes its
existence to the development and application of technology to solve
seemingly insurmountable challenges in the search for energy. Certain
technologies stand out as milestones in the development of our offshore
resources. We honor the organizations and individuals who dreamed, who
believed, who supported, who struggled and who achieved their prize and
the innovations they used in their success. These are the technology
pioneers.
