This is all supported by a proven health and safety culture. Ryder turns a complicated supply chain into a company’s strategic competitive edge, from the oilfield to the marketplace.]Judged by over 110 senior executives from Midstream and E&P companies, the Southwest Oil & Gas Awards saw over 150 companies participate across multiple categories.

The Awards partner with over 30 media partners, making them the most visible form of recognition in the industry. The Oil & Gas Awards take place regionally throughout North America in the Gulf Coast, Midcontinent, Northeast, Rocky Mountain, Southwest, and West Coast. Winners of the Southwest Oil & Gas Awards will be announced at the Oil & Gas Awards Gala Dinner in Dallas, Texas, on Thursday, October 23, 2014, where there will also be a Southwest Industry Summit held for participating companies and organizations that have an interest in the region.
