Judges will be looking for a technological application which can be either new technology or an existing technology used in an innovative way. Award entries must show value to the industry in reducing risk, increasing recovery, improving safety, minimising environmental impact, and/or diversifying well intervention technology for use outside the traditional oil and gas industry.
