Hydrocarbon Processing Awards ready to debut in Vienna
Vienna—The stage is set and the nominees are eagerly awaiting the dinner black tie awards ceremony this Wednesday evening, 7 June, at the Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront in Vienna, Austria.
Gulf Publishing Company and the editors of Hydrocarbon Processing are proud to present the launch of the annual Hydrocarbon Processing Awards in one of Europe’s great historical cities. The awards program will honor the downstream energy segment's leading innovations, as well as outstanding personal contributions to the industry.
The event will also recognize the top refining and petrochemical projects of 2016. These two projects were voted on by the readers of Hydrocarbon Processing and are featured in the December issue of the magazine. The award will be presented to representatives of the project’s owner/operator company.
