NOIA Annual Oil and Gas Conference 2012
Business Opportunities in Canada - NOIA Annual Oil and Gas Conference St. John's, June 18-21, 2012.
Atlantic Canada is regarded to be a high potential, under-explored frontier offshore region. The market potential is considerable, but there are challenges. High winds, rough seas, low temperatures and occasional reduced visibility due to fog as well as seasonal intrusion of sea ice and icebergs make the environment one of the most challenging in the world.
There are several reasons this market place could be attractive to INTSOK partners. There is a positive interest for Norway and Norwegian petroleum industry in Canada. Field developments are similar to what can be found on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. North Sea technology is in demand. The focus is on health, safety and environmental issues. Canada is a country with business practices and ethical standards familiar to Norwegians and there are several Norwegian companies that have been, and are, successful in their business ventures in the region.

Canada's largest, most important offshore oil and gas industry event, the NOIA Annual Oil and Gas Conference, takes place in St. John's, June 18-21, 2012.
Previous conferences have attracted more than 1100 delegates and the event is seen as an excellent market update and networking opportunity.
The arctic region is the next frontier. With 15 years operating experience of oil production in a very harsh environment, the area offshore Newfoundland and Labrador is seen as a full scale test basin for arctic technology. This makes it a prime location to examine challenges and opportunities arising as future oil and gas activities move towards subarctic and arctic regions.
