Executive summary
OG21, the task force established to assist the Norwegian petroleum industry to formulate atechnology strategy for added value and competitive advantage in the oil and gas industry,issued in August 2010 a revised strategy document. This document, named Energy efficient
and environmentally sustainable technologies, was identified as one of four new technologytarget areas (TTAs). Due to the complexity of the overall OG21 strategy document, each ofthe four TTAs has its own individual sub-strategy.
The main objective and strategy of the TTA Energy efficient and environmentallysustainable technologies (hereafter named TTA1) is to ensure that the operators on the
Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) remain in a leading position with respect toenvironmental performance, whilst contributing to safe and optimised resource recovery, andvalue creation.
The maritime sector and the energy sector have similar strategic organisations; Maritim21 and
Energi21.1Both organisations have TTAs linked to their sectors discussing the importance ofenergy efficient and environmentally sustainable technologies. OG21 and Energy21 have
jointly addressed Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and a joint CCS strategy report hasbeen prepared by CLIMIT.2Therefore technologies related to CCS have not been included inthis report.
Some areas of the NCS face challenges related to ageing facilities, tie-ins of marginal fields toexisting infrastructure, and tail-end production; activities all of which rapidly increase the
produced water- and gas production rates. This calls for improved water treatmenttechnologies and increased energy efficiency. Energi21 covers the development of new andalternative energy sources, thus these has been omitted here.
The TTA1 strategy focuses on environmental technology and competence necessary to:
Attain the societysacceptance for continued growth and development of the oil andgas industry
Reduce the environmental footprint of existing fields, and minimise the footprint ofexploration and development in environmentally sensitive areas
Enhance the energy efficiency of exploration and production (E&P) related work Reduce the environmental risk and improve the preventive measures to avoid
accidental oil spills, and minimise the damage if they occur
TTA1 has identified technology gaps and research needs that need to be met in order tocombat the challenges related to further development of oil and gas activities on the NCS.
The TTA1 vision is to support the Norwegian industry to become the most energy
efficient oil and gas industry in the world.

The current, and the future, business challenges on the NCS have been evaluated from aTTA1 perspective. The three most relevant business cases are considered to be:
1) Exploration & Development in Environmentally Sensitive Areas
2)
Barents Sea Gas & Condensate Field Development3) Field Life Extension
For each of these business cases technology gaps and detailed technology needs have beenidentified. The value potentials have not been identified, however the implementation ofenergy efficient and environmentally sustainable technologies as outlined herein is a criticalstep in order to obtain "license to operate", after which the value potential may be realised.For each of the technology needs, the time perspective, cost level, time criticality, marketvalue, fulfilment of OG21 strategic goals and main barriers for success have been outlined.For ease of understanding, the technology gaps have been summarised into the followingthematic areas:
1. Understanding the natural environment and the ecosystems2. Remote sensing technologies3. Modelling tools4. Environmental monitoring5. Leak detection6. Energy efficiency7. Produced water technology8. Oil spill response technologies9. Technology for seismic operations10.Drilling technologies
Furthermore, a second list of TTAs has been identified; a prioritised list of important industryneeds independent of governmental funding:
1. Produced water technologies (PWT)2. Detect, contain and clean up spills3. Remote sensing technologies for real-time mapping of biological resources4. Leak detection for pipelines, risers, subsea and surface equipment5. Develop energy efficient systems for cuttings handling6. Technologies to reduce the hole diameter (i.e.drill slender wells)
In line with the overall strategic goals of OG21, development of the technologies outlinedwithin the aforementioned focus areas will contribute to increased safety, and help minimisethe environmental impacts associated with operation on the NCS. It is also expected thatenhanced R&D in these areas will contribute to increased energy efficiency in the oil and gas
production from the NCS, which again will lead directly to a decreased environmental impactthrough reduced greenhouse gases emissions.
Governmental funding should primarily focus on education, basic science, long-termtechnology development and the stimulation of technology pilots. The funding should focuson the fundamental research elements of the value chain, and provide risk reductions for
important technologies that otherwise might not be developed and/or matured. Governmentalengagement should also stimulate research to secure a high level of competence in Norway,

since without incentives the industry will perform its research abroad. Increasing internationalcompetition makes it necessary for the government to show a long-term commitment and
provide support to the supplier industries that are based in Norway. This is particularlyimportant for developing the competence and technologies needed to become the most energyefficient and environmentally friendly oil and gas industry in the world. In a global context,
the NCS has been the world leader in clean and energy efficient production for many years,but has now been surpassed by the Middle East region (Figure ES1).

1. IntroductionOG21 (www.OG21.org), Norways official strategy for the petroleum sector, issued inAugust 2010 a revised strategy document named Energy efficient and environmentallysustainable technologies (TTA1). This was identified as one of four new TTAs, each of
which incorporates individual sub-strategies. This document, TTA1, outlines the strategy forthe environmental technology and competence necessary to mature, prepare and allow for thedevelopment of the three business cases outlined herein. The strategies are all in line with theoverall vision and goal of the OG21.
2. Vision and goalsThe TTA1 vision is to support the Norwegian industry to become the most energy efficient oiland gas industry in the world. For Norway this means to continue to be the province with thehighest energy efficiency, lowest levels of harmful emissions to air, discharges to sea andsediments, and exposures to workers per produced oil and gas unit. The vision also includesincreased attention to technologies that assist in reducing the environmental impact fromaccidental oil spills to sea.
The business challenges on the NCS, both currently and in the future, have been evaluated,and the following three business cases have been viewed as the most important seen from aTTA1 perspective:
1) Exploration & Development in Environmentally Sensitive Areas2) Barents Sea Gas & Condensate Field Development
3)
Field Life Extension
The TTA1 strategy focuses on environmental technology and competence necessary to:
Attain the societysacceptance for continued growth and development of the oil andgas industry
Reduce the environmental footprint of existing fields, and minimise the footprint ofexploration and development in environmentally sensitive areas
Enhance the energy efficiency of E&P related work Reduce the environmental risk and improve the preventive measures to avoid
accidental oil spills, and minimise the damage if they occur
TTA1 has identified technology gaps and research needs that need to be met in order tocombat the challenges related to further development of oil and gas activities on the NCS.
The TTA1 vision is to support the Norwegian industry to become the most energy
efficient oil and gas industry in the world.
For each of the aforementioned challenges, R&D needs have been identified. And,correspondingly, the time perspective, cost level, criticality, and market value have beenrecognised for each of the R&D needs.

3. Business Case 1: Exploration & Development in EnvironmentallySensitive Areas
3.1. OverviewOn the NCS several restrictions apply to exploration activities, especially exploration drilling,in areas defined as environmentally sensitive.4 Environmentally sensitive areas are oftencharacterised by having high biological activity and diversity, being close to shore, importantareas for fishing and fish reproduction, and contain vulnerable marine ecosystems (e.g. coralreefs). Areas having high touristic value (scenery) are also included in the definition.Unopened areas such as Lofoten, Vesterlen, Jan Mayen, and the northern parts of the BarentsSea; ice edge locations; and a few already opened areas are examples of such sensitive areas.
These environmentally sensitive areas are also considered to hold a large proportion of the yetto find oil and gas reserves on the NCS. A report discussing the possible opening of theunopened areas in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea (the areas off Lofoten, Vesterlenand Senja) indicates that these areas could hold 202 million scm o.e. (approximately 1.4
billion barrels) (Norwegian Petroleum Directorate 2010).5
In order to be able to explore and develop these sensitive areas it is imperative to developenergy efficient and sustainable technologies as recommended in this TTA.

day-to-day operations (e.g. multi-sensor data captured from several sensors and platforms,communication infrastructure, analysis, and interface).
Prevention of well incidents, intervention, and oil spill response capability is critical toaddress in any operation, but will be even more important in environmentally sensitive areas.
Responding to oil spills in new frontier areas (e.g. the Arctic, deep waters and/or close toshore) present new challenges that need to be addressed. New solutions should be able tooperate under rougher weather conditions, under lower temperatures, and in ice infested areas.
In the event of an oil spill, response managers must quickly select the most appropriateresponse tactic(s) (e.g.biodegradation, mechanical recovery, in situburning, and/or chemicaldispersion). The choice to implement a particular response strategy in a specific area should
be based on the efficiency and environmental effects of that particular response option underthe prevailing conditions. Therefore an information base outlining the contingency system
producing the lowest environmental impact is essential. It is thus important that theinformation base includes the capability of the response tactics in various situations; e.g.
weather conditions, presence of sensitive ecosystems, high touristic places, etc.
To be able to convey to the stakeholders that the industry is capable to respond to oil spillsunder various conditions, and possesses the technological advances to detect, contain andclean up spills, more innovative solutions needs to be presented. Oil spill contingency plansincluding chemical dispersants and in situburning are already in use, but should be developedfurther.
3.2.2. Exploration
Both during seismic operation and exploration drilling, safe and efficient informationgathering should be in focus to minimise the environmental risk. Gravimetric andelectromagnetic imaging, combined with acoustic based seismic, and the development of newinnovative technologies, should be improved in order to verify the presence and migration ofoil and gas, and marine mammals; e.g. viasatellite tracking and acoustic sensoring.
New well drilling methods in order to perform safer and more energy efficient drillingactivities should also be developed. Such technologies are also addressed by TTA3(Cost-efficient drilling and intervention); examples include:
Technology and methods to produce slender wells (reduced the hole diameter) toreduce the requirements for rig size, energy consumption, and minimise the cuttingsvolume and chemical usage. This implies reduced environmental footprint and a moreenergy efficient drilling technology.
Improve blowout prevention implement Best Available Technology and BestAvailable Practice in well engineering design and well operation management toreduce the likelihood of future incidents.
Develop new extended-reach technologies to reduce the need for rigs to be situatedclose to sensitive areas (e.g.deepwater corals, spawning and fishing areas).
Develop new cuttings disposal technologies that allow safe disposal in locations awayfrom vulnerable seabed habitats.

Involved personnel should receive continuous training in critical drilling operation scenariosusing realistic drilling simulations. Integrated operations using parallel control roomsconnecting the drilling rig and the onshore operation centre could also reduce the likelihood,impact, and extent of a well incident. Forecasting simulations based on well responses whilstdrilling could be a tool for early identification of well problems. Real-time information
systems should have high reliability to secure adequate and sufficient guidance and supportfrom company specialists on onshore locations.
New and innovative solutions to minimise the likelihood, impact and extent of well incidentssuch as well kicks and blowouts should be developed (suggested by TTA3). Additionally,new rig fluid handling systems that implement the use of efficient and effective chemicalsshould be developed so that these can operate in an environmentally friendly way.
Prevention of lost well control incidents will be one of the top priorities for the industry,therefore capping and containment systems should be developed, and made available as acontingency system if needed.
3.2.3. Development
Technology advancements for surface and subsea leak detection, including leak detectionfrom pipelines, injection wells and surrounding areas is critical. Ongoing work includes thedevelopment of methods/technologies for integrated environmental monitoring, which willenable flexible solutions (long-term and/or real-time) aligning environmental monitoring withthe industries day-to-day operations. Although many subsea installations have sensorsystems for leak detection, the reliability and robustness of these is not adequate.Furthermore, there is presently no qualified technology for leak detection from injection wellsavailable.

Improved systems for mud and cutting handlings on site should be developed as an alternativeto transportation to shore. This will improve the energy efficiency of the drilling operations.Therefore, new and improved technologies for the re-use of mud and the injection of cuttingsinto subsea disposal wells are needed. Alternatively, methods for safe disposal of cuttingsaway from vulnerable habitats are needed.
Re-injection of operational discharges (i.e.produced water) is not always an option. Thereforework is needed on developing zero harmful discharge systems. Examples of new riskreducing technologies expected to be implemented are secondary containment systems (i.e.
pipe-in-pipe solutions), leakage detection systems, and integrity monitoring and assessmentsystems. It is further expected that technologies such as subsea processing and ultra longdistance well construction could reduce the risk for discharges to sea significantly.Technologies that allow for economical and safe field development in subsea tunnels andcavities up to approximately 50 km from shore, exist today, but should be further developed.
3.3. R&D NeedsThe following R&D needs have been grouped according to the challenges and technologygaps identified.
3.3.1. General R& D needs
Understanding the natural environment and the ecosystems
Improve knowledge of biological diversity and natural and seasonal variations inspecific environments, including ecosystem function and speciesinteractions.
Improve knowledge of the environmental effects of operational and acute dischargesto sea.
Remote sensing technologies

Develop models and decision support tools that integrate expert knowledge, onlinemonitoring systems, site specific data, and local information on natural and seasonalvariations.
Continue to improve and integrate modelling tools for oil spills, species migration,ecosystems, meteorology, oceanography and biological impacts.

Environmental monitoring
Develop methods and technologies for integrated environmental monitoring, whichwill enable flexible solutions (long-term and/or real-time) aligning environmentalmonitoring with the industries day-to-day operations (e.g.multi-sensor data captured
from several sensors and platforms, communication infrastructure, analysis, andinterface).
Improve the robustness and reliability of real-time biological and environmentalmonitoring technologies, including systems for interpretations and integrations ofonline data into working processes linked to risk and impact modelling.
Oil spill technologies

Drilling technologies
Develop technologies to reduce the hole diameter (i.e. drill slender wells) to reducethe requirements for rig size, improve energy efficiency of drilling, minimise the
cuttings volume and the use and discharge of chemicals. Improve and develop new systems for cutting handling as an alternative to
transportation to shore, e.g. technologies for injection of cuttings into a subseadisposal well or for safe disposal away from vulnerable habitats.
Improve existing and develop new technologies for integrated operations usingparallel control rooms connecting the drilling rig and the onshore operation centre.

4. Business Case 2: Barents Sea Gas & Condensate Field Development4.1. OverviewAt present time, the Barents Sea gas field development does not include tie-backs to existingexport pipeline infrastructure, hence near future developments will aim to produce andtransport liquefied natural gas (LNG), or compressed natural gas (CNG). A typical LNG
production/transportation scenario includes gas treatment onshore, with storage andtransportation similar to that of the Snhvit/Melkya development, except with an extendedstep-out to the offshore field.
F igure 3:Hammerfest LNG plant on
Melkya when receiving its first LNG-ship
in Dec 2006.
F igure 4:Typical subsea tie-back to
shore.
This business case postulates that up to 150-300 km of wet gas may be transported betweensubsea templates and onshore facilities, with the main technology gap related to the extendedstep-out. Offshore floating, and/or LNG and CNG processing, may be alternatives to wet gastransport to shore for remote fields.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directory (NPD) has estimated the total gas condensate reserves inthe Barents Sea to be approximately 800 BSm3. Environmental regulations may requireimproved and/or new technical solutions to enable development of these reserves and acquiresocietys acceptance of the operations.
4.2. Future Challenges and Technology GapsGas condensate development in the Barents Sea calls for a common scientific, industrial and
public understanding of the development in this region; and one that is energy andenvironmentally sustainable. This requires a holistic understanding of emissions anddischarges from all activities from well start-up through to production.
Developing safe operations in frontier areas with rough climate and low temperature is likelyto include subsea processing, long distance transport in pipelines and partial processing of
fluids and gas offshore. This requires contingency plans to limit and handle potential gas

condensate leakages. Real time leakage and performance control is also needed, as well asfast responding systems for leakages, and spill control of chemicals, gas and condensate.
4.3. R&D NeedsThe R&D needs have been grouped thematically, according to the challenges and technologygaps identified:
Understanding the natural environment and the ecosystems
Develop methods and tools for a holistic understanding of emissions and dischargesfrom all activities.
Develop methods and tools to illustrate the accumulated effects of differentenvironmental stresses on the ecosystem.
Leak detection
Develop leak control systems for gas, condensate and chemicals for long step-outsoffshore, subsea and downhole hydrocarbon processing.
Oil spill technologies
Develop safe, robust and fast responding systems for controlling chemical, gas andcondensate spill.
Environmental monitoring
Improve systems to limit and control emissions to air (e.g.CO2, NOx, nmVOC). Improve condensate and water management systems to enable subsea and offshore
processing of condensate and chemicals.
Energy efficiency
Develop energy efficient systems for transporting gas and condensate.

5. Business Case 3: Field Life Extension5.1. OverviewAccording to the Oil and Energy Directory (OED) (2011)6there will be a drive to increase therecovery from Norwegian oil fields. This will require a combination of EOR/IOR measureson existing fields as well as tying in adjacent, smaller fields.
F igure 5:Valhall, operated by BP, is being developed in order to increase the fields
lifetime beyond the planned design. The field was originally built with three platforms,
but today the platform has eight platforms in total.
Some of the installations are of considerable age, and are in many cases limited by processing
capacity, i.e.water handling capacity. This implies a need to develop adjacent fields quicklywhilst maintaining compatibility with existing process equipment. This is to ensure that theintegrity of the installations, process equipment and transport facilities is unduly affected byoperation too far beyond their intended lifetime. By adding new production to the diminishingvolumes of older fields, the older fields will be able to increase their recovery in a profitablemanner.
5.2. Future Challenges and Technology GapsRemaining water handling capacity available for tie-ins from new fields is typically limited on
most installations, but the benefit of dry production from early removal of produced waterfrom the new production can greatly increase the chance for early tie-in. These benefitsinclude cost sharing and increased recovery factors on both fields. Common issues associatedwith adding new production from adjacent fields to existing production facilities include theability to extend operation of plant and equipment beyond its original design life and designcapacity. This can result in increased use of chemicals (for example to safeguard plantintegrity), and increased discharges of oil and chemicals to sea during normal operationalconditions.

Leak detection
Improve systems for leak detection, including real-time monitoring and remote controlsystems for pipelines, risers, subsea and surface equipment.
Energy efficiency
Develop energy efficient and environmentally sustainable water treatment solutions totreat produced water containing polymers and surfactants, to meet acceptabledischarge and reinjection quality
Develop energy efficient systems for transporting gas and condensate Improve existing equipment to be able to extend their lifetime and performance, for
example by developing:- compact bottoming cycles (cycle that uses waste heat from the primary
generation cycle, i.e. a gas turbine, to generate further electricity) to moreefficiently generate electricity
-compact heat exchanger technology to improve heat integration opportunities(including the use of lower temperature heat sources for electricity generation)
- systems to generate power efficiently as both full and part load (i.e. turbinecycles that still operate efficiently when generating significantly less than theirdesigned power output)

6. R&D Priorities, Time frame and Funding for the most importantareas for value creation on the NCS
The R&D needs identified in chapters 3-5 have all been integrated into separate tablespresented in this chapter. For each of the thematic R&D areas, one table have been generated.
Each row represents one of the identified R&D needs, although the text has been shortened,and if the same R&D need has been identified more than once, they have been merged intoone row. Please refer to chapters 3-5 for description of the R&D needs.
In the tables, the estimated time needed for technology development, the assumed R&D costs,a criticality evaluation, an estimated market potential, the OG21 strategic goals covered,
barriers for the technology realisation and the priorities for industry and public funding havebeen indicated. Below can be found an explanation to the various terms:
Term Definition

8. Link to other TTAsEnvironmental technology should be incorporated into all technology development to obtainenergy efficient and environmental sustainable development, and it is expected that several ofthe projects discussed in the other TTAs will cover similar needs that have been identified
within this report. The identified interfaces are listed inTable 6.
The main objective of listing interfaces to the other TTAs is to maintain consistency, and toensure important technology gaps have not been adressed. There is no conflict in overlapping
priorities.

9. RecommendationsPriorities have been listed in order of importance with particular emphasis on technologicalissues that will need governmental support, either for initialisation, acceleration ordevelopment of competences. R&D needs that are industry-funded, or covered by existing
initiatives, have not been included in this report.
The focus areas are:1. Develop methods to improve the energy efficiency of offshore operations as well
as transport of oil and gas2. Improve knowledge of real-time integrated monitoring and modelling systems3. Systems to limit and control emissions to air4. Increase the fundamental understanding of the fate and effects of EOR/IOR
chemicals, including produced water treatment5. Improve knowledge and understanding of the natural environment and the
ecosystems
6.
Develop new and continue to improve oil spill response systems7. Improve systems for leak detection, including real time monitoring and remote
control systems for pipelines, risers, subsea and surface equipment
A review of on-going activity shows there is a need for improved energy efficiency for the oiland gas industry throughout all phases such as exploration, development, production andabandonment. Recent acute spills e.g. Macondo in the GoM, events have also shown the needfor better spill response systems.
It appears to be a lack of knowledge about the effects from operational and acute discharges,which may be the cause for not opening for oil and gas exploration in new sensitive areas.Increased focus on environmental monitoring is a key, and real-time integrated monitoringand modelling systems should be prioritized
There is still an apparent lack of initiatives to address a holistic approach to environmentalissues, i.e.balancing emissions to air, discharges to sea, and waste management. Stakeholderfocus and efforts to create awareness must be emphasised. It is imperative to create a positive
public perception, and this can be achieved via communicating the standards and trackrecords of the business, and the exciting future opportunities. This is vital to improve public
perception and recruitment to the industry.
In order to promote, and strengthen, the position of the Norwegian oil and gas industry,developing environmental legislation and technology is crucial. To achieve this, emphasis oncooperation between authorities, research facilities and industry is needed. Continuousinnovation and development is important to attract international companies, to support exportof world leading environmental technologies.
