NPD Technology Day: Programme in place

Technology Day is primarily for those of you who work for the resource management authorities and licensees on the Norwegian shelf.

“We have a strong technical programme lined up, with highly qualified speakers. Just like last year, we’re hoping for good discussions and enthusiastic attendees,” comments technology coordinator Arvid Østhus.

The objective of the event is to illustrate how utilising technology can result in increased value creation on the shelf. The agenda is based on the three commitment areas in the NPD’s technology strategy: collecting subsurface data, challenging barrels and next-generation production systems.

Representatives from companies on the shelf will share their experiences and perspectives within these areas – followed by time for questions and comments.

Here’s the agenda in short form:
