Global Energy Show Canada Awards

The Collaborative Trendsetter Award is designed to recognize those who understand the value of collaboration. These organizations are collaborating with others outside of their own organization to improve effectiveness (what is done) and efficiency (how it is done). This category is open to applicants across the energy supply chain and must involve two or more organizations outside of your organization. (Note: Collaborating organizations cannot be owned by the same overarching corporation.) 

Winner is: OptiSeis Solutions Ltd.

The collaborative EcoSeis project has enabled development of high-resolution, subsurface imaging technology that provides accurate data acquisition with substantially lower environmental footprint and GHG emissions, while also enabling safe and efficient field operations.

The Emerging Clean Technologies Award is focused on innovative technologies or processes that improve environmental performance or decrease cost of production in the energy industry through significant energy efficiency improvements, the sustainable use of resources, or environmental protection activities. (Note: Carbon Credits will not be considered). Technologies in this category are in the post pilot, proven category that have positive impact on the environment.

Winner is: Sapphire Technologies
