About
Oil companies on the NCS present exploration plans and strategies for 2024.
Europe is facing an energy crisis of unknown proportions, and energy rationing is likely to become reality across Europe this winter. How is the Norwegian Oil & Gas industry responding to this new reality?
For whom?
NCS Exploration Strategy is for anyone curious about the future of exploration on the NCS. The conference has never been more relevant than this year.
Who participates? Authorities, oil companies, service companies, and consulting companies, financial advisors, explorationists, business developers, and energy experts.
Why?
To provide a broader insight into short- and long-term exploration on the NCS and how companies build their portfolios in order to maximize reserves and position their companies to respond to the fluctuating oil price and outside pressure.
