The Research Council is:

a government adviser

identifying 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 5,5 billion NOK (1 billion US $)

a co-ordinator

initiating networks and promoting co-operation between research institutions, ministries, business and industry, public agencies and

enterprises, other sources of funding, and users of research

OG21 – Oil and gas in the 21th century

OG21 is expected to result in a new overall technology strategy, leading to more concerted and focused efforts in research and technology development, and thereby promoting more efficient and timely results.

The Norwegian authorities also recognised that the petroleum industry identifies technology as the single most important factor for reducing costs and enhancing the competitiveness of Norway’s oil and gas activities. Technology will also be crucial for resolving the considerable challenges facing Norway's petroleum industry.

The goal of OG21 is to:

increase value creation on the NCS

increase the export of Norwegian technology

OG21 – Oil and gas in the 21th century

• Sustainable development and zero harm to people and environment

• Increased reserve replacement• Increased hydrocarbon recovery• Cost effective technologies for arctic developments

• Development of marginal fields (deepwater, small fields, etc)

• Increased value creation from gas• Competence development and increased recruitment

• Increased export of technology

Technology target areas

KeyChallenges

•Develop new technology for maximum value creation from NCS

• Increased export of technology

A sustainable petroleum industry for the next 100

years based on collaboration with respect

to knowledge and technology

• Environmental technology for the future

• Exploration and reservoir characterisation

• Enhanced recovery• Cost effective drilling and

intervention• Integrated operations and RTRM• Subsea processing and

transportation• Deep water and subsea

production technology• Gas technologies
