RESTON, Va. -- Bechtel, the global engineering, procurement and construction firm, today announced that Bechtel Group, Inc. Vice Chairman Bill Dudley won the LNG "Executive of the Year" award earlier this week at the 17th CWC World LNG Summit in Barcelona, Spain.

Dudley earned the award for making "an outstanding contribution to the development and future of the LNG industry in the past year" according to the CWC Group, which organized the three-day event drawing more than 500 LNG leaders from around the world. 

"I am deeply honored to be recognized for contributing to the development and future of the LNG industry,” Dudley said. “I accept this award on behalf of the tens of thousands of dedicated, hard-working, and inspiring Bechtel colleagues who bring these extraordinary feats to life. It is a great privilege to have our clients' trust to design and build the engineering marvels that are transforming the world's energy prospects."

The executive of the year award was chosen by a special selection committee comprising senior industry executives associated with LNG and represents the only honor bestowed upon an individual at the CWC Awards event.
