Data integration is a key to success
The Norne Field has been selected by NTNU and Statoil to become a
pilot field for petroleum research and education, in particular related
to developments in the area of Integrated Operations (aka Smart Fields,
Fields for the Future, Digital Oil Fields, eFields). NTNU is host for a
Center for Research-based Innovation in IO, and works closely with
SINTEF, IFE and several foreign universities, as well as 11 industrial
partners, and the Norne pilot is central in much of the research in the
center. The Norne Village will be an integrated part of the activities,
aiming at developing new ideas for better reservoir characterization of
the Norne reservoirs and thus better production.

| The Norne Field is located west of
Sandnessjøen, and is operated by StatoilHydro in Harstad. The
field also includes the smaller fields of Alve, Svale and
Stær.
The
database of the Norne Field is installed and frequently updated
at the Department of
Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics at NTNU.
The data will be an important basis for all project work in the village.

The group projects will naturally have a basis in petroleum geosciences
and petroleum engineering, however, students from other technology
areas are welcomed. Focus
will be on data analysis, modelling of reservoir behavior, optimization
of production, etc. Sufficient
training will be given as needed. Each
group will consist of students from various study programs in order to
form
an efficient multidisciplinary team. Each group will be assigned
advisors both
from NTNU and StatoilHydro.
Early in the semester experts from StatoilHydro in Harstad and
Trondheim will present current challenges in production of the Norne
Field. The groups will define the actual group projects after that. We
hope to arrange a trip to the operational office in Harstad for the
entire village in order to discuss progress with the advisors from
StatoilHydro.
