SFI REPO – REpurPOsing of offshore oil and gas infrastructure for maximum value creation in a sustainable manner

The first SFI REPO seminar in June identified the challenges in decommissioning offshore oil and gas infrastructures in the coming years. Read the seminar summary and view the presentations here.

The second SFI REPO seminar will focus on exploring possibilities and innovative solutions for repurposing these valuable infrastructures in sustainable ways, aiming to maximize value creation and minimize environmental impact.

The seminar will provide a platform for companies across various sectors to collaborate and discuss new opportunities emerging in offshore industries, such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), offshore wind power, offshore fish farming, and ocean bottom mineral extraction.

Participants will have the opportunity to join or shape the contents of the forthcoming application to the Research Council of Norway for a new centre for innovation: SFI REPO (Centre for Innovation).
