The ICoTA Award for Innovation & Technology
The ICoTA Award for Innovation & Technology is judged and presented annually by the Europe Chapter of the Intervention & Coiled Tubing Association. Entries for this year are now closed. Finalists will be revealed soon!
ENTRY PROCESS
Judging Criteria and Guidelines for Entries
Entries are judged by the Committee of the ICoTA European Chapter.
Technology - New technology or new application of existing technology. What distinguishes this development from existing or previous technology?
Application - How did this technology add value to your or the client’s asset? This can include financial, environmental, or other value creation.
Value to the industry - How does the application of this technology provide improved benefits to the industry? This can include the oil and gas sector or, more specifically, just the well intervention industry.
Conditions for 2024 Award
The technology should have been both:
*Applied in commercial operations for the 1st time since 31st March 2023.
*Developed in Europe and applied in Europe or elsewhere for the first time OR developed elsewhere and applied for the first time in Europe.
Entries should be related to the innovative use of existing or new technology within the oil and gas industry and/or well intervention industry. To avoid doubt, this could include fluid-only intervention of wells and the use of well intervention technology outside traditional oil and gas applications such as geothermal, carbon capture, mining, etc.
Submissions can be for the implementation and refinement of technology over time or a single project.
Entries for the 2024 award are now closed. Finalists will be revealed soon!
