The conference, held under the theme “Solving the trilemma towards 2030”, serves as an important meeting place for subsurface professionals in Norway and international communities, alongside policy makers, regulatory bodies, and students. It is organized and financed by the research centre NCS2030.

Energy Norway 2026 is part of the scientific and technological efforts led by NCS2030 to enable an energy-efficient and multi-purpose use of the subsurface through a “Sustainable Subsurface Value Chain,” supporting net-zero emission goals on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The conference features scientific presentations related to subsurface energy systems, net-zero production, digitalisation, and societal aspects of energy transition.

During the event, Prof. Geir Ersland, also the scientific director of NCS2030, gave a presentation titled “Flow visualisation - lab scale opportunities for tight reservoirs”, highlighting experimental approaches to understanding flow in low-permeability formations.

In addition, PhD students from the Reservoir Physics Group contributed with one-minute pitches presenting their research, offering a concise overview of ongoing work within the group.

PhD candidate Melito Soares reflected on the experience:

“Energy Norway 2026 was an insightful and enriching experience, bringing academia and industry together to address the evolving challenges of the Norwegian Continental Shelf, with engaging discussions and a clear emphasis on strengthening collaboration to accelerate innovation.”
