In 2008, the stand set up for the 2006 Rio Oil & Gas trade fair took 1st place in the "Medium-Sized Stand" category at the 4th edition of the Feira & Cia Estandesign 2008 Awards, promoted by Feira & Cia Magazine, with the support of Sindiprom, whose evaluation criteria were design, visual communication, technology, innovation and creativity.

The major attraction was the tunnel in which the visitors were able to travel inside the Gas Pipeline, by means of a 3D computer simulation of the entire operation of the pipeline and its facilities.
