The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has announced a tender competition to supplement its technological expertise and capacity, with the intention of becoming even more of a driving force in the development of discoveries and improved recovery measures from producing fields.
The tender competition is intended for external companies with relevant expertise. The NPD needs consultants who can carry out assignments within various technological areas:
- Subsurface technology, reservoir geology and reservoir technology
- Drilling and well technology
- Development technology and operation of installations and facilities
- Seabed technology and infrastructure
- Onshore facilities, technology, infrastructure and capacities
