The OEC Hall of Fame recognizes and honors the individuals and companies that contributed to the development of technologies in the offshore marine industry. Pioneering technologies are innovations that stand out in the development of the offshore industry and its resources. Those pioneering technologies enshrined in the Hall include the development of drillships, jackup drilling rigs, supply boats and helicopters. A plaque (names of PPL and 8 other pioneers) is displayed onboard the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig And Museum (a retired jackup built in 1969 converted into a museum located in Galveston, Texas) for permanent recognition.
