Subsea Technology: Efficiency. Innovation. Transformation. 

18 – 18 Nov08:30 – 11:00
Fornebu, Auditorium at Aker Tech House (Akerkvartalet)
SIGN UP NOW

The subsea industry is one of Norway’s greatest strengths – and one of the most important areas in which we contribute to the global energy transition.

Norwegian companies have been world leaders in underwater technology and solutions for several decades. Now the industry faces a new chapter: How can this expertise be used to deliver more efficient oil and gas production while also playing a key role in developing low-emission solutions? 

Digitalization, standardization, and new forms of collaboration create opportunities for more efficient projects and lower costs. At the same time, subsea technology opens the door to new markets – such as carbon capture and storage (CCS/CCUS) and integrated solutions with offshore wind and other energy sources. 

With this seminar, Energy Valley is focusing on: 

  • Success stories showing how subsea contributes to lower emissions and more efficient resource utilization. 
  • The future outlook: Where will the next subsea success stories come from, and how can Norwegian industry maintain and strengthen its international competitiveness? 
  • Cross-industry dialogue: Operators, suppliers, technology companies, and research institutions come together to share experiences and look ahead. 

We inspire, challenge, and invite collaboration on the next generation of subsea solutions.
