The Adpec Awards winners at the gala event

Aramco shines at Adipec awards

ABU DHABI, November 16, 2017

Saudi Aramco was the most successful company at the Adipec Awards this year with the oil major’s projects winning two categories, and an Aramco employee being chosen the ‘Young Adipec Engineer’.
 
The Adipec Awards recognise the achievements of businesses, initiatives and individuals shaping the rapidly changing oil and gas industry. 
 
Adnoc’s Onshore CEO and Adipec Awards chairman Saif Ahmed Alghfeli said this year’s awards had been the most successful ever, attracting 407 entries from more than 132 companies, based in 34 countries.
 
“I have had the privilege of working alongside the Regional Select Jury in the selection process of the Adipec Awards and I would like to thank them for their dedication and hard work in evaluating the very high-quality entries,” Alghfeli said.
 
“The task has not been an easy one. They have all submitted excellent projects and reaching the final stage in this stringent process is a great achievement.”
 
Winners were announced at the Adipec Awards Gala Dinner, hosted by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), and held at the Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal in Al Maqta.
 
Each winner had demonstrated excellence within an area of significance to the oil and gas industry, from digitalisation to socio-economic development.
 
“The Adipec Awards are among the most prestigious awards recognitions in the industry,” said Saudi Aramco engineer and researcher, Abubaker Alsaeed, who was at the ceremony to collect two of the awards won by Saudi Aramco teams.
 
As the winner of the ‘Young Adipec Engineer’ award, Sarah Alsaif was particularly pleased to be among a group of finalists where all those shortlisted were female.
 
“When you see a woman winning an award, it gives you encouragement, and it gives a push for young women to achieve more in the industry and to be proud of their work,” said Alsaif. “We have a lot of women doing a lot of really good work, and to be participating in and winning events, such as the Adipec Awards, helps show what we are achieving.”
