The council stated that during the Congress, Tillerson would receive the highest honor from the World Petroleum Council.

"Rex W. Tillerson, ex-chairman and former chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil Corporation, is being recognized for his outstanding contribution to the oil and gas industry with the highest honor of the World Petroleum Council, the Dewhurst Award," the Council noted.

Tillerson is only the tenth recipient of the Dewhurst Award in the history of the WPC since its inception in 1993 when the then president of the Institute of Petroleum in U.K., Thomas Dewhurst, organized what was to become the first World Petroleum Congress.
