The 12th NPF North Sea Decommissioning Conference 2012

Bergen

It is my great pleasure, on behalf of the Norwegian Petroleum Society (NPF), to once again, invite you to the 12th Annual NPF North Sea Decommisisoning Conference at the Solstrand Hotel from 13th-15th February 2012.

This is a milestone for us as we will meet exactly elleven years on from our inaugural conference. The Programme Committee has established an interesting programme bringing the latest developments in the decommissioning field to the discussion along with an unique forum to learn from operators about their activities and plans. Much of this material is not made available at other conferences.  elaborate upon their experiences and forward thinking.
This conference, with its first class venue, continues to be recognized by industry as the premier decommissioning gathering. Delegate places will again be at a premium but we still seek to encourage the attendance of senior representatives of oil companies who find themselves operating oil /gas fields close to Cessation of Production.

Our hard working, knowledgeable and diverse Programme Committee has produced an interesting and up to date programme which, when presented in the exceptional facilities of the Solstrand Hotel, will provide an informative and effective conference.

We look forward to seeing you there in February.

Regards
Geoff Tilling
