Royal Dutch Shell scooped two honours in the Platts Global Energy Awards in New York City last night.
The awards program, now in its 14th year, is one of the energy industry's premier recognition events and often referred to as the "Oscars" of the energy industry.
Netherlands-based Royal Dutch Shell took the much sought-after Energy Company of the Year and Commodity Excellence Award for Natural Gas.
Shell's downstream activities in chemical gas-to-liquids technologies development caught the judges' attention, as did its liquefied natural gas (LNG) technologies.
Antonio Brufau, executive chairman of Spain's integrated oil and gas company Repsol, won 2012 Chief Executive Officer honours.
The Commodity Excellence Award for Oil went to CNOOC, China's largest producer of offshore crude oil and natural gas, while the Commodity Excellence for Coal award was taken by Peabody Energy of the United States.
