Hart Energy is highlighting its inaugural Hall of Fame class and its 50th anniversary celebration content online starting today.

The Hall of Fame honors 50 groundbreaking pioneers in the energy sector from the last 50 years with more industry leaders and innovators to be added each year. Hart also is recognizing more than 20 Agents of Change in Energy, called ACEs, who are making positive impacts on how we power the world now and into the future.

Visit hartenergy.com/2023-hall-of-fame to view profiles of all the Hall of Famers and ACEs.

Hart will highlight the profiles starting this week and throughout December in its Morning Rush and Daily Wrap-Up newsletters.

The site also includes an interactive timeline to peruse many of the industry-altering events of the past five decades.

Hart Energy also will host a Hall of Fame awards and anniversary celebration on Dec. 5 in Houston. For more information, visit hartenergy.com/events/hall-fame-awards-and-celebration-2023.

The history of the energy industry is full of pioneering men and women who have expanded and reinvented the energy sector time and time again. From the offshore oil and gas boom in the Gulf of Mexico to the ongoing shale revolution, the past 50 years have seen U.S. oil and gas production grow to record highs into a world-leading position, and Hart Energy is eager to celebrate all of the accomplishments of the last five decades and beyond.
