Collaborating institutions
Norway’s expertise network in the oil and gas sector has been built on over 40 years of experience of development in the harsh and demanding conditions of the Norwegian continental shelf.
From the start, Norwegian authorities established a basis for the systematic development of the country’s offshore petroleum resources, a wealth distribution policy and, later, a pension fund (the Oil Fund). The oil and gas industry has put the nation right at the forefront of technology development and environmental and safety issues, making the organisation of Norwegian oil operations a model for many other nations.
Petrad’s collaborating partners in Norway include research institutes, universities, oil and gas companies and government agencies. More than 400 experts have contributed to Petrad’s various activities as lecturers and advisers.
