Joining Forces 2020

02/03/2020 Welcome to a 2-day seminar and dinner. The ambition of the forum is to promote communication between the oil & gas industry and the Norwegian Earth Sciences and Petroleum Engineering Research Institutes to bring about valuable R+D projects.

The focus for the event is to provide the opportunity for industry to share their perspectives on R&D: what are our challenges; what do we want R&D to focus on; what are our R&D strategies. There will be several short presentations from different companies providing a range of views on R&D requirements for the Petroleum industry in Norway.
