Welcome to the 28th Field Development Conference
(3) 4 – 5 March 2026
Conference language: English
We are pleased to invite you to the 28th Field Development Conference in Bergen.
Do not miss this opportunity to exchange knowledge and network with key contributors within
early phase field development as well as project execution.
The Power of Collaboration: Turning Marginal Finds to Major Opportunities
The installations on the Norwegian continental shelf, with the related infrastructure, are under continuous development, with tie-ins, modifications, lifetime extensions, license consolidations, and more.
Development is largely concentrated within each individual area. Collaborative models with shared incentives can serve as mechanisms to strengthen the agenda.
The industry must further develop cooperative solutions in order to unlock more marginal discoveries alongside some larger project opportunities.
This year’s conference will focus on how collaboration can be taken further, bringing perspectives from energy companies and the supplier industry, and learning from projects that have succeeded.
We hope you will join us!
