Samarbeidsprosjekt ble vinner

«With 54% of the votes from the conference participants, and a strong endorsement from all members of the jury, I am very pleased to announce that a cutting-edge cutting project has surfaced as the winner of this years’ prize: The Released Wells Initiative,» Torgeir Stordal, Technology and Coexistence in the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD), said during last night’s Award Ceremony at the NCS Exploration 2021 conference when handing out the Prize.

The main reasons for awarding the prize to the Released Wells Initiative are the following observations:

• it is unique in nature – who knows of a similar project being carried out elsewhere? It surely puts Norway on the map in terms of doing innovative things with data many people probably forgot about,
• it is generating data that can be used by all operators for a variety of different purposes,
• it has also proven to be of value for the service sector through creating ways to optimise data handling,
• it also forms a great resource for academia once it will be publicly released.
