Hydrocarbon Processing recognizes the latest
innovations at its sixth-annual HP Awards
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
On October 12, Hydrocarbon Processing
hosted its annual HP Awards at the
Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa in Houston,
Texas. This event recognizes the latest
innovations, technologies and services
in the global hydrocarbon processing industry
(HPI), as well as the people that
have and are shaping the future of the
HPI. The benefits that these technologies
and people bring to the industry have
helped companies operate more safely, efficiently
and profitably.
The 2022 HP Awards were comprised
of 17 strategic categories (14 technical/
services and three people-focused awards).
