Past and Future Phase 2 – Summary & Phase 3 – Future of FORCE By Victor Sneberg and Arild Haugen Force Executive Session 29. October 2001

What is FORCE ? FORUM FOR RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION, RESERVOIR ENGINEERING AND EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGY CO-OPERATION or …. Fantastic Opportunities for Real Collaborative Environments

FORCE Objective Development in tools, methods and research related to Improved Oil Recovery Problems concerning reservoir characterisation, reservoir monitoring, reservoir engineering and well related technologies Exploration technology improvements relevant for the Norwegian continental shelf

Proposed Objectives of the FORCE forum (Phase 3): Focus on the user’s needs in development and demonstration of tools and methods which will increase petroleum resources from the Norwegian Shelf at basin and reservoir levels. Work for increased subsurface understanding and qualification of improved exploitation methods in order to continuously improve the overall exploration, recovery and production.

Future (Phase 3) Scenarios Knowledge building Knowledge building + Technology Gap Identification Knowledge building + Technology Gap Identification + Project Idea Generation

Objectives (continued) Market place for Sharing of knowledge (for example Optimal use of data) Efficient use of existing and emerging technology Professional networking and exchange of best practices. Project ideas Defining long term challenges

Objectives (continued) Stimulate learning by Arranging Seminars and Workshops Experience transfer within and between technical committees and work groups Defining and marketing technology gaps within the subsurface areas.
