  1. Working Group 1: Exploration – focusing on RDT in areas of geophysics and geology • Who are we • Our Mission • Goal for this workshop • Process • Speakers • Discussions • Summary and leads for further actions

  2. Our Mission • Identity possible target areas for new and or broadened co-operation • Establish suitable frameworks for project common research and technology co-operation and financing • Format and scope of co-operation will be sought for project focusing on new innovation and development of technology

  3. The Goal for this Workshop • Identify possible target areas • Identify institutions • Identify Lead Party • Propose further action for NRC

  4. The challenges • Why Exploration • Why Norway • Why US and Canada • A win-win situation

  5. Research Co-operation Norway U.S. / Canada Industry Industry Government Government R&D R&D

  6. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) The NPD shall contribute to creating the greatest possible value for society from the oil and gas activities by means of prudent resource management based on safety, emergency preparedness and safeguarding the natural environment

  7. Main challenges on the Norwegian Continental shelf:1.Find more oil and gas2. Commercialize the discoveries3. Maximize recoveries from existing fields 300 ”We can have a perspective for the Norwegian Continental Shelf of 50 years of oil production and 100 years with gas.” 250 200 Annual production of oil and gas (mil. Sm3 o.e.) Long-term scenario 150 100 Closing the gap must to a large extent rely on development of new knowledge and technology 50 Decline scenario 0 2002 2006 2010 2014 2018 2022 2026 2030 2034 2038 2042 2046 2050

  8. Strategic focus areas for NPD • Enforce for increased R&D activity to be able to explore, develope and exploite more resources on the NCS. • Special focus on increased R&D within: • Exploration • EOR • Development of marginal resources • e-field

  9. Forum for reservoir characterisation, reservoir engineering and exploration technology. • Started 1995 (3 years periods) • Initiated by the NPD • NPD secretariat • FORCE initiates co-operation • Active involvement of members • Process of continuous improvement

  11. R&D - How can NPD make a difference? • DATA (Gap-analysis, knowledge) • STORY-TELLER (Communication strategy, be a better story-teller, praise good initiativ) • MOTIVATOR (R&D in licences, first user /best practice, long term strategic research) • FACILITATOR (Unbiased, Co-operation (industry, institutions, licenses, countries))

  12. Our main focusImproved Oil Recovery and Exploration. Our main objectives Focus on the user’s needs in development and demonstration of tools and methods which will increase petroleum resources from the NCS. Work for increased subsurface understanding and qualification of improved exploitation methods in order to continuously improve the overall exploration, recovery and production process. Act as aMarket place and be an arena for Experience transfer. Cooperate on getting access to data. Stimulate co-operation and promote research in cooperation with the research institutes, universities and the service industry.

  14. JCR - Joint Chalk Research • Started 1982 • NPD and Danish Energy Agency initiators • Oilcompaies involved in chalk-fields • Now a assosiated part of FORCE

  15. Strategic focus areas for NPD Challenges Industry/ Society Too little done by the industry Focus areas for NPD • Exploration R&D • EOR • Develop Marginal discoveries • E-field • Long term R&D R&D (in general) Find more Short-term thinking Exploration Enhanced recovery IOR Risking and priority of resources Develop marginal discoveries Develop discoveries Joint venture
