Drop by our stand and learn more about the NCS.

8/22/2024 Are you attending ONS between August 26th and 29th? Drop by us at stand 8100 in hall 8!

The main theme of our stand is the Norwegian Continental Shelf (the NCS), with a particular focus on the activities there and the roles of the authorities. As usual, we will award the Improved Recovery Award on Tuesday.

At our stand, shared with the Ministry of Energy, you will have the opportunity to meet representatives from both the Directorate and the Ministry. Feel free to take the opportunity to pick up the new version the NCS map and a summary of the new resource report.

Check out a "digital version" of the stand. The purpose is to provide you with knowledge and insights into our key messages.

Also, explore our new map-based ONS website, where you can learn more about the NCS and the responsibilities of the authorities. These include petroleum, CO2 storage (CCS), minerals, and more.

Our ONS programme

We look forward to seeing you at our stand!
