Some 20 oil companies are now scheduled to present on the forthcoming NCS Exploration Strategy conference in Stavanger, November 17-18.
Amongst these we find Norwegian majors like Equinor, Aker BP and Lundin, as well as international majors like Shell, Total and Vår Energi (owned 70% by the integrated energy company Eni International B.V.).
Equally important is to learn what the smaller Norwegian companies are up to. On the speaker list we find Horisont Energi, Sval Energi, DNO, Petrolia NOCO, OKEA, Lime Petroleum, Concedo, Longboat Energy and Wellesley.
In the programme we also find European Companies like PGNiG, OMV, Wintershall Dea and Neptune Energy.
In addition to this, two morning sessions will be dedicated to the larger picture:
- NCS Exploration in a global perspective, including presentations from Eirik Wærness (Equinor), Kristin Færøyvik (Lundin Energy Norway), Jonny Hesthammer (M Vest Energy) and Jarand Rystad (Rystad Energy). The talks will be followed by a panel discussion. The following discussion will be moderated by Egil Tjåland (NTNU) and Halfdan Carstens (GeoPublishing).
- Exploration Value Performance, featuring Anders Wittemann (Wittemann EP Consulting) and Kjersti Dahle Grov (Leader of Technology and Coexistence at the NPD). The subsequent panel discussion will be moderated by Arild Dybvig (Lundin) and Camilla Aamodt (Equinor).
Altogether, this should make a very attractive conference and provides some necessary background for looking into the crystal ball.
