AUTONOMY IN THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY
What will it take to get us there?
6 - 7 March 2013
Sola Strand Hotel, Stavanger
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 5th year we are arranging this exciting conference, and this year we ask the simple question: “What will it take to
get us there?”. Welcome!
