PETROMAKS Status • PETROMAKS following OG21 target areas in the evaluation of the portfolio. • OG21 incorporated in the program plan of PETROMAKS • OG21 important for PETROMAKS – OG21 arguments for the need of petroleum research to the ministry and increased funding to petroleum research • Communication between the PETROMAKS board and the OG21 board through the administration and meetings.
OG21 and PETROMAKS - Challenges: • Find specific research priorites. However, Project quality, innovation, research content and quality must be HIGH. • OG21- as a meeting place: Stimulate to new ideas and projects • Define state of the art and research needs for the future from the companies perspective • Certain research areas are not in the OG21 strategy. Dialogue is needed.
How PETROMAKS make a difference for Petroleum research in TTA2? • Competence building – ph.d and post.docs • Stimulate companies, universities and research institutes to carry out petroleum research • Stimulate to cooperation between academia and oil companies through public funding • Long term and basic research. It takes often 15-20 years from a good idea to commercialization.
Overall challenges for PETROMAKS • New talents • More high risk projects/ game changers versus incremental projects • Are the PETROMAKS money important for the research in the companies? • Many projects evaluated as excellent and very good do not get funding because of the budget situation
