AUTONOMY IN THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY How will new technology change the business model? 19 - 20 March 2014 at Quality Airport Hotel Stavanger
Product & Photo by Robot Drilling Systems AS
The oil and gas sector must increasingly develop and operate existing and new fields more efficiently and safer, both over long distances, and in increasingly more extreme and sensitive areas. For example in very deep waters and the Northern Regions. Autonomy and automation throughout the full value chain are key to making this possible. The Autonomy in the Oil & Gas Industry Conference aims to be the primary forum in Norway for discussing future needs for autonomous systems in the oil & gas industry, and be the place for bringing together the right people for forming collaborations to meet these needs. The conference will therefore include central representatives from the oil and gas companies, the authorities, technology providers, and the research community. It is the 6th year we are arranging this exciting conference, and this year we ask the simple question: How will new techonology change the business model? Welcome!
