Program directorDiv. for Innovation Research Council of Norway
The petroleum sector is important to Norway
Numbers 2003 20 per cent of Norway’s GDP 42 per cent of the value of the country’s
exportsFuture challenges
increased oil recovery in exisiting fields development of smaller fields further exploration in general, but
specifically also in environmentally sensitive areas in the North

Decline scenario
Long-term scenario
Closing the gap must to a large extent rely on development of new knowledge and technology
”We can have a perspective for the Norwegian Continental Shelf of 50 years of oil production and 100 years with gas.”
Development perspectives for the Norwegian Continental Shelf
The background
Why are we here?
MoU between DOE and OED
Put petroleum R&D content into the MoU
Scheduled meeting in the Norwegian Research & Technology Forum in the US and Canada
Why workshop?
Exploit possibilities for creating cooperation, collaboration, or coordination of R&D within the petroleum sector
Possibilities must be found within areas/themes which both countries prioritise
Exploration(geophysics and geology) Enhanced oil recovery Challenges in artic areas
The workshop form has limited attendance,is unformal and requires engagement from all present
The Research Council of Norway is:
a government adviseridentifying present and future needs for knowledge and
research, and recommending national priorities
a funding agency for research programmes and independent projects, strategic programmes at research institutions, and Norwegian participation in international research activities. The Research Council has an annual budget of some NOK 4,5 billion
a co-ordinatorinitiating networks and promoting co-operation between research
institutions, ministries, business and industry, public agencies and enterprises, other sources of funding, and users of research

Addressing major Norwegian challenges and possibilities
To include long term basic R&D, and applied and industrial R&D into one thematic programme
Ten years perspective, at least 100 mill NOK’s in annual budgets
Seven large programmes have been established

PETROMAKS SCOPE
R&D cooperation with leading science and technology institutions and industry, shall lead to maintaining a strong technological home base
Basic research and technology development, with special attention to the supply and service industry
International cooperation
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
Optimal resource management Find and develop more resourcesEnhance the recovery of petroleum
resources
Economic development based on oil and natural gas
Help enhance existing industryContribute to the establishment of
new economic activities
International competitiveness Boost exports of petroleum-related goods and services
Targets for PETROMAKS 2004
OG21 – Oil & Gas in the 21st Century - main objectives
Develop new knowledge and technology to ensure economic and environmentally sound development of the resources on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
Strengthen the industry’s competitive advantage in a global market by developing new and attractive technology products and systems
OG21: Focus Areas &Technology Targets Areas (TTA)
Deep waterReal time reservoir management Deep water floating technology
Gas value chain
Competitive gas production and offtake
Small fieldsLong range transport of well stream Seabed and downhole processing
Increased recovery
Stimulated recovery Cost effective drilling
Environment Zero harmful discharge to sea 30%red. emissions to the atmosphere
PETROMAKS 2004 Concentrate on exploration and increased recovery. The first call for proposals resulted in applications
totalling a project volume of 900 mill. NOK. over the entire project period.
PETROMAKS 2005 Expanding into other thematic areas to cover most of
the upstream petroleum areas and also HSE. As a guidance for this expansion PETROMAKS will aim
at implementing as much as possible of the strategies and plans laid down by the government initiative OG21 (Oil and Gas in the 21th century).
PETROMAKS PARTICULAR ISSUE Basic research and technology development, with
special attention to the supply and service industry.
