"We are excited about the response to the introduction of the
Spotlight on New Technology program," said Rod Allan, OTC
.04 Chairman. "The companies that are involved in the offshore
industry are incredibly innovative, as they have to be, due to
the technical challenge inherent in producing oil and natural
gas at ever-increasing water depths in more remote locations."
SPOTLIGHT WINNERS
Applications for the Spotlight on New Technology were
distributed at OTC .03 and were due 9 January 2004. Submissions
had to meet four criteria: new and innovative, proven, broad interest,
and significant impact.
Winners will be recognized on site at this year's conference,
scheduled 3-6 May, on the exhibition floor and in the registration
area. Spotlight on New Technology will continue as an annual
recognition program coinciding with OTC. For more information
