Theme of BSCE 2013:

A change of pace in the Barents Sea

"There are three areas that can be cited for the activity in the north: High exploration and drilling activity, several industrial establishments and higher expectations for the supplier market.

Topics that will be discussed at the conference are expectations to resources and national impacts of the activities in the north. There will also be questions on how to stimulate economic growth, which segments in the supply market will be important going forward and what should be done, and be addressed. The program also addresses the issue of safe operations in the north, what is new and how this is handled?

We look forward to meeting you at the Barents Sea Conference & Exhibition 2013 with exciting presentations from key players, a meeting place for industry, society and politics with a focus on an emerging oil and gas activity Barents Sea. "
