"Innovation is the lifeblood of the oil and gas industry. Innovation requires invention, which requires ideation, which requires inspiration," said E&P Executive Editor Jennifer Presley.  "Ultimately, as famed inventor Thomas Edison once noted, the value of an idea is found in how it is used." 

These men and women were nominated by their peers and colleagues, she noted.  "It's through the efforts of individuals like these that the next generation of innovations and the industry will thrive."
