The Technical Sessions concept
The Technical Sessions Committee, which is made up of a broad spectrum of experienced technology experts from across the industry, identified the unsolved challenges within oil and gas. The companies of the industry were invited to submit suggestions for technological solutions.
The response was overwhelming, and based on the submissions, a total of 16 sessions have been scheduled. In addition, four sessions on New Markets will be held on Thursday 1 September.
Each session will feature multiple speakers. The speakers will be announced soon!
The Technical Sessions will be executed with assistance from the The Norwegian Petroleum Society.

“Smart use of technology is key to making our industry more robust in a world of low oil prices, high costs and climate change. Operators and suppliers are equally important in the identification of technology gaps and the development of technical solutions. During the Technical Sessions, we will address the challenges from the problem owners’ perspective, followed by presentations of possible solutions,” says Line Geheb, Chair of the ONS Technical Committee and Asset Manager with Petoro.
