12. 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.

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

14. 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

15. 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.
