4/8/2025 The Norwegian Offshore Directorate’s Technology Day will be held on 5 June. There are still some slots available!

Acquisition of subsurface data, challenging barrels and next generation production systems are three main areas the Offshore Directorate believes are important for the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) in the years ahead.

That’s why we’ll be organising Technology Day on 5 June 2025, for the fourth year running. The following are among the topics on the programme:

  • Equinor’s plans for electric X-mas trees (eVXT)
  • How Okea is working to recover barrels from fields in the tail phase
  • How Aker BP uses long horizontal wells in the exploration phase.

The target group for the event consists of employees of licensee companies and resource authorities on the NCS.

Many people have signed up already, but we still have some slots available. Sign up here to make sure you don’t miss out.
