This session showcases state-of-the-art digital technologies in the energy sector. We invite contributions covering both practical applications and fundamental innovations that enhance design of processes and industrial operations.

Drilling and well construction represent one of the highest costs in oil and gas production. Over the last decade, digitalization and automation have been pushing these costs down. This section will present recent developments in this area.

The era of smaller discoveries and aging infrastructure on the Norwegian Continental Shelf calls for new approaches to field development. Moving beyond a project-by-project mindset, the industry is increasingly adopting portfolio and area-based perspectives. This session presents recent developments in portfolio-level economic evaluation methodologies, alongside emerging frameworks for enhanced cooperation within and across license partnerships.

In this session, we will discuss the current gaps in knowledge and technology that need to be addressed in order to achieve efficient water management in subsea operations. We will also showcase recent work between academia and industry that contributes to closing these gaps. 

Production and reservoir management are at the heart of oil and gas industry efficiency. This session will cover recent developments in these topics in the overlap of industry needs and latest academic developments.

This session explores technologies driving the energy transition within the oil and gas sector. We discuss operational energy efficiency, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and the deployment of net-zero technologies for the low-carbon future
