SUBPRO Subsea Production and Processing
What is the motivation for your company to join the SUBPRO Centre as an
industry partner?
What is your expectation for the outcome of the Centre?
“SUBPRO’s innovation potential lies in having parties that normally do not
collaborate, work together on mapping needs and carrying out joint research and
development, all in order to
make individual technologies work together as a
system.”
EXPECTATIONS TO SUBPRO FROM NTNU
What is the motivation for NTNU to host the SUBPRO Centre as an
academic partner?
“Novel and efficient methodology in the oil and gas industry taking
advantage of subsea production and processing infrastructure is
essential for the development of new demanding oil and gas fields.
This is
the major objective of SUBPRO. The role of NTNU in this context is
to develop basic scientific knowledge relevant for the industry and
to pave the ground for innovations in the field, through the researc
activities. Most significantly, the centre will educate PhD and MSc
candidates within this important research area for Norway. In 2015
a large number of talented PhD students and postdocs were
recruited, a very good starting point for the centre.”
What is your expectation for the outcome of the Centre?
“Reaching the goals of centre requires an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, SUBPRO is a joint
effort between several research groups at two faculties at NTNU, Faculty of Natural Sciences and
Technology, serving as host, and Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology. A further strong
point of the centre is the close collaboration with the industrial partners ensuring the societal
relevance of the scientific activities as well as of the master of engineering programs in the field at
the university. We are looking forward to see scientific achievements, as well as implementation of
the research-based knowledge into innovative solutions for the industry in the years to come.”
