Conference Themes
- Improved Production and Reservoir Management
- Marginal Field Development
The conference is a popular meeting and knowledge-sharing event for the Norwegian reservoir and production industry.
Technical experts will present case studies and explore new ways of working in reservoir and production management. The program will delve into both brownfield and greenfield projects, focusing on the challenges and opportunities associated with subsurface uncertainty and marginal field development in the oil and gas industry.
Delegate profile range from reservoir engineers, petroleum engineers, geologists and geophysicists with the North Sea as a field of work.
We hope this event will enhance your knowledge and your business opportunities within Reservoir & Production management.
