Exploration Revived Award 2025

The Exploration Revived Award 2025 will be announced during the conference dinner, Tuesday 11th March. The intention behind this award is to stimulate the exploration on the Norwegian shelf and it is awarded biennially at the NPF Exploration Revived Conference.

The award will be given to groups or companies who, over the preceding two years, have contributed to moving Exploration of the shelf forward by:

  • Testing new play concepts and/or exploration models
  • Testing high-risk/high-potential targets
  • Contributing to geological breakthroughs
  • Exploring for upside potential in more mature areas with established play types, supporting an extended lifetime of producing field
  • Reducing exploration risk by developing and/or applying new techniques and technologies
  • Any other combination of ideas, technology and risk-taking resulting in revived exploration

The award is based on nominations from the exploration community in Norway and is decided by a committee appointed by the Exploration Revived Award Committee.

The prize consists of a lithographic print and a certificate/diploma.

Please send your nominations to Kåre Vagle, Managing Director – kv@npf.no. Please state the reason for your choice of nominated candidates. The deadline for the submission of candidates is 31 January 2025.
