Dear Fellow Explorationists
NPF and the conference committee are again pleased to invite you to the “Exploration Revived” conference. The conference will take place at Clarion Hotel Air, Sola (Stavanger) on 13 – 15 September 2021.
There will be a combined Core Viewing and Ice-breaker at Stratum Reservoir, on Monday evening at 19.00 hrs! Do not miss this opportunity to network with your peers and attend Core presentations on the following:
- Lysing, Lange and Garn reservoirs from Skarv-Ærfugl-Gråsel, both from fields and nearby wells
- Evra/Iving with injectites, submarine fans, alluvial sequences and weathered basement
- The Silfari well with volcanic material and precious metals
- Released wells initiative (digital cuttings project)
Over the two conference days, you can follow four keynote presentations and 14 different case studies. Invited speakers from the industry and academia will cover different aspects of breaking new ground in Exploration, involving new or revived plays, new ways of integrating data, new technology and strategies.
The key element of this conference is NETWORKING. There will be plenty of time for delegates to meet peers from the industry. Monday night will start with a social gathering (more info to come). During the conference there will be several networking opportunities, so please come join us for the aperitif and conference dinner Tuesday evening.
Exploration Revived Award
The Exploration Revived Award is instigated by the Norwegian Petroleum Society as a recognition of companies who have made outstanding exploration efforts on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in order to locate new oil and gas resources and thus contribute value to the Norwegian Society.
It is therefore with great pleasure that we introduce the finalists for the exclusive Exploration Revived Award, in random order:
- ConocoPhillips
- Equinor
- Vår Energi
Congratulations to all finalists! Read more about the jury’s reasoning behind the nominations here.
