Following a successful Theme Day held in Stavanger, Norway, on 26
November 2008, Industry Technology Facilitator (ITF) is pleased to
announce the launch of a new call for proposals based on the theme of
'Arctic Challenges.' The deadline for submission of proposals is Monday,
16 March 2009.
The Arctic covers an area in excess of 30 million square kilometers and
24 time zones and has a population of 4 million people. A U.S.
Geological Survey preliminary assessment suggests that the arctic seabed
may hold as much as 25 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and gas
reserves, with an estimate of 400 billion barrels lying beneath the
arctic seabed.
This is an open invitation to any organization seeking sponsorship for
innovative technologies in the oil and gas industry to submit proposals
for research, development, and / or field trials in the following areas
associated with the identified needs of the Arctic Challenges Theme:
- The harshness of the arctic climate;
- The impact of ice;
- The sensitivity of the environment; or
- The remoteness of the location.
If you have an innovative technology that addresses one or more of these
technology needs, there may be up to 100% funding available to develop
or trial your technology. Further detail about application requirements
can be found on the website at: http://www.oil-itf.com/.
