NORWEP Official Program During OTC Week

NORWEP will host its annual industry program during OTC week in Houston, consisting of the Norwegian Industry Breakfast Seminar, a Networking Event, and a series of operator-led technical workshops, bringing together Norwegian suppliers, international operators and industry partners.

NORWEP events take place outside the OTC exhibition area at separate venues.

• Breakfast Seminar – Americas Market Outlook
• Networking Event – Connecting Norwegian suppliers with US Operators
• Operator led technical events*

* Selected companies for the operator technical events must also register as delegates for the NORWEP program, including the breakfast seminar and networking event.

Important Information

Participation to our program does not require an OTC conference badge, but requires registration through NORWEP.

Operator Led Technical Events

Alongside our official program, NORWEP will facilitate a series of operator-led technical events designed to create direct dialogue between Norwegian solution providers and U.S. operators*.

The technical events focus on five high-priority industry themes and will be delivered in an interactive format with Houston-based operators, with tracks 1–4 confirmed with ExxonMobil and track 5 confirmed with Chevron.

* Participation is subject to operator selection, based on submitted UVPs..

Track 1: Subsea
Theme: Cost-Competitive and Extended-Reach Deepwater Tiebacks
Focus: Technologies that enable longer, economically viable deepwater tiebacks, not only through technical reach, but by reducing total lifecycle cost and operational risk.

Track 2: Autonomous & Digital Operations Track
Theme: Progressing Toward a Highly Automated, and Ultimately Autonomous Operations.
Focus: Technologies that materially reduce offshore manpower, increase uptime, and enable trusted, data-driven operational autonomy.

Track 3: Topsides
Theme: Maximizing oil recovery, increasing CAPEX/OPEX efficiency, and enhancing availability, while fulfilling sustainability/GHG objectives.
Focus: Design choices, materials, and operating philosophies that maintain performance over asset life while minimizing intervention, footprint, and carbon intensity.

Track 4: Marine
Theme: Improve marine inspection efficiency, reduce safety risks, and enhance integrity management of hull, turret, mooring, and offloading systems.
Focus: Marine remote inspection, integrity management, reduce personal offshore exposure and safety risks.

Track 5: Subsurface, Wells & Completions (Chevron)
Theme: Cost-Competitive Subsurface Technologies Enabling Higher Recovery and Lower Intervention in Deepwater Assets.
Focus: Technologies that improve recovery, reduce intervention frequency, and enhance decision-making across the subsurface and well lifecycle.
