The Biennial Geophysical Seminar 2016
Integrated Geoscience
The Norwegian Petroleum Society is once again organising its traditional three day geophysical seminar in Kristiansand. The biennial seminar has become popular and recognized throughout the petroleum industry. The themes of these seminars highlight recent achievements, changes and new developments in geophysical techniques relevant to the petroleum industry.
The oil and gas business in Norway will continue for many years despite a lower oil price and it is important for the future exploration and development that we keep improving technical developments in geophysics to support these activities. The yet to find reserves and resources are continuously harder to identify, so technology and knowledge sharing are important elements in maintaining our activities.
Integrated Geoscience is the main of the 2016 seminar and we would like to put a program together that highlights how development and applications of different geophysical interpretation techniques can help to meet these challenges, specifically for the Norwegian continental shelf.
On behalf of the Organising Committee I would like to welcome you to the seminar.
