Register here by Friday, January 31 at 14:30. (Check this page periodically for updates and more details.)

We will spend two days in presentations, a hackathon, and group sessions in order to kickstart innovation projects. We hope the hackathon will be a fluid place for open discussion, brainstorming innovative ideas, collaborative discourse, and feedback between researchers, industry partners, and the Innovation Committee.

We will focus on four main challenge areas for innovation: tight reservoirs; reservoir modelling tools; energy management; and data utilization.

Due to the nature of the event, we expect NCS2030 researchers to participate in both days. Our industry partners, on the other hand, are invited to attend during Day 1 and as appropriate Day 2. If you have questions or concerns on this, you may contact Ying Guo or Lisa Watson directly.

Bring: laptop or tablet
Via the hotel, you will have pens and notepads
