"In its second year, the Spotlight on New Technology program
continues to serve as a stage to highlight the most innovative
and significant offshore developments during the year," said
Rod Allan, OTC .05 Chairman. "These recipients demonstrate
the increasing technical edge that is required to explore and produce
in ever-increasing water depths, and more remote and hostile environments.
The products recognized in this year's Spotlight program will help
bring offshore development to new depths—depths that just a few
years ago seemed impossible."
Submissions for Spotlight on New Technology had to meet four criteria:
new and innovative, proven, broad interest and significant impact.
Winners are recognized on the exhibition floor and in the registration
area at this year's conference. The recipients also will be honored
during a presentation on Monday, 2 May, where Allan will present
them with their awards. For more information about the winners,
