Technology and operational challenges for the high north

Abstract

The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) has commissioned this project in order to obtain a picture of the HSE challenges related to petroleum activities in the Norwegian High Northern region.

The acquired overview will be used in the PSA's work with development of framework conditions and carrying out supervision of activities in this region.

It should, however, be noted that the opinions and recommendations expressed in this report reflect the view of the authors and are not necessarily the views of the PSA.

The report summarises information which has been collected and systemised with the view to map existing technologies and ongoing and needed technology developments which will contribute to safe exploitation of petroleum resources in Norwegian High North areas.
