to the webinar – Deal with the Seal
The series of webinars will go live on
5 June and 12 June 2025
at 09:00 – 12:00 hrs.
The Norwegian Petroleum Society are pleased to announce the 2025 “Deal with the Seal” webinar series. The goal is to share knowledge and experiences with seals from the exploration phase to production and injection, plug and abandonment and CO2 injection.
The webinar provides an opportunity to share knowledge between industry experts, industry partners and academia and reach out to a wider audience who might not be experts on the topic but are interested in gaining and increasing their understanding.
We have defined the main themes of the two webinars, and encourage submission of presentations spanning topics including, but not limited to:
Fault and Top Seals. What are the challenges of seal characterization for regional evaluation? What are the implications and value during production and P&A? What are the monitoring opportunities and challenges? What are the implications of seals knowledge for exploration and production success and value?
Challenging Trap Seals. What can we learn from complex structural and stratigraphic traps as an input for column height estimations? How do we deal with static vs dynamic sealing and normally pressured vs over pressured traps?
Seal Analysis for Carbon Storage. What are the subsurface learnings applied to CCS case studies and how are the long-term effects evaluated? How do we acknowledge the differences and similarities between hydrocarbon and CO2 seal analysis? What are the learnings from current injection projects?
New Technology in Seal Prediction and Geomechanics. How are machine learning and artificial intelligence improving seal prediction? How are new geomechanical methods influencing workflows, for example seal integrity during drilling?
Submit your abstract
The abstract submissions for the webinar series Deal with the Seal 2025 are now closed.
Interested speakers are invited to submit an abstract (~300 words) describing the main ideas of the presentation. Each speaker gets a presentation time of 25 minutes, including Q&A. All presentations will be made available online for the conference attendees.
- Conference language: English
- Please use the abstract template available for download below and forward it to Kåre R. Vagle, kv@npf.no
- Abstracts deadline: 24 March 2025
On behalf of the Program Committee, we look forward to receiving your abstract and hope to see you at the webinar in May and June.

Membership of the Norwegian Petroleum Society
We offer conference participants to purchase membership of NPF together with registration and payment for the conference. Reduced membership fees apply for young professionals under the age of 34, students and seniors.
Link to membership registration for new users: npf.medlemssystem.com/registration
If you are already registered in our database, please send an email to conferences@npf.no to become a member.
Payment
Payment can be done upon registration by credit card (Master Card/Visa/AmEx) or by invoice. If the invoice needs to be changed due to wrong or missing information there will added a fee of NOK 150 to the total amount. All international payments must be approved before the conference starts.
Cancellations
Cancellations must be received in writing by 8 May 2025 and will be subject to a NOK 1,000 cancellation fee unless a substitute delegate is offered. After this date, the full registration fee will apply, however, substitutions will still be accepted. Substitutions for registered delegates may be made at any time, but we would appreciate prior notification.
In case of cancellation of the conference by the Norwegian Petroleum Society, (NPF), the participant will be refunded the conference fee and/or the exhibition fee. Other expenses the participants may have are not refunded, and is not the responsibility of NPF.
Force majeure: Events beyond the control of the NPF – for example, but not limited to, extreme weather conditions, acts of war, terrorism, transportation shut-down (strikes or accidents), government regulation or advisory including travel warnings, serious illness or epidemics that makes it impossible to fulfill the obligations of conducting the conference entitle NPF to cancel the event without liability.
Webinar details
All participants will receive an e-mail with an invitation link the day prior the webinar. The link is personal, and you will be asked to enter name and company. As a participant you will follow the webinar via a PC, Mac or smartphone/tablet. Internet access and web browser is therefore vital in order to attend.
There will be a short Q&A session after each presentation, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the presenters. Abstracts from the webinar will be available for download after end of conference. Participants will be informed when available by e-mail.
Programme changes
It is sometimes necessary to change timing of the programme. The conference organiser will not be liable for any such unavoidable changes.
