A GOOD DECISION IS BASED ON KNOWLEDGE
DNV GL STRATEGIC RESEARCH & INNOVATION 5
Plato said some 2,500 years ago: "A good decision is based on knowledge." His words have become ever more relevant over the centuries. And in today's rapidly changing world, knowledge is the key strategic asset.
Changes related to climate will affect all of us – irrespective of our location or business. The same is true of technology-related changes, which are taking place at an increasing pace and including more and more real-time data.
However, this activity must also take more shortterm business needs into account. Yes, we have to provide foresight and we have to identify the necessary competence and start to develop it. But we also have to turn our competence into business.
At DNV GL Strategic Research & Innovation (SR&I), our primary focus is on new knowledge and technology areas that have a long-term impact on the industries we serve and our own work processes and core services.
The Arctic programme has been one of the focuses of our research and innovation unit for many years. At the end of 2014, it was moved closer to our operations and is now part of the Oil & Gas business area. For us, this is an example of how knowledge and competence can be developed and then integrated into the business.
We believe that a safe and sustainable future (our vision) is technically possible – in both the short- and long-term. Whether or not we achieve it depends not just on the technologies themselves, but also on how effectively we are able to introduce them at scale, manage the risks they pose and catalyse trust – all in a way that generates economic, social and environmental value. Today, individuals and society at large have zero tolerance for failure. At the same time, a lack of confidence and lack of credibility have been pointed out as problems. DNV GL has for decades invested some 5% of its annual revenue in research and innovation. By combining our knowledge and competence within our different business areas and sharing our SR&I results with industry, we want to help improve that confidence and credibility. Strategic research and innovation must have a long-term perspective. To ensure a view that is sufficiently broad and long-term, this activity has to be sufficiently removed from the day-to-day business.
Other research programmes that have been active throughout 2014 and are to continue into 2015 are: Maritime Transportation, Information Technology, Oil & Gas, Materials, Healthcare, Power Systems & Electrification, Climate Change and Foresight. This review provides a brief description of some of the major projects within each programme. I hope you find it interesting and inspiring reading. I would also like to take this opportunity to let you know that we are going to develop Technology Outlook 2025 in 2015 – so there will be more interesting reading later on too.

The ReVolt – a new inspirational ship concept
Taking current technology to the extreme, DNV GL has developed a revolutionary concept for an unmanned, zero-emission, shortsea vessel.
DNV GL STRATEGIC RESEARCH & INNOVATION 11
THE ReVolt IN BRIEF
FACTS & FIGURES
Main particulars LOA 60.23m Beam 14.5m Depth 12.18m Draught (full) 4.84 m Service speed 6 kn
Service speed: 6 knots Range: 100 nautical miles Cargo capacity: 100 TEU Power demand: 50kW in calm sea Unmanned operation
Economic benefits Increased safety Lower operating costs No direct emissions Ballast-free design Requires re-charging facilities in every port
Named the ReVolt, this vessel is 60 metres long and is fully battery powered and autonomous – it requires no crew. This is a new shipping concept for the short-sea segment that offers a possible solution to the growing need for transport capacity. The EU road network is already suffering from congestion and the population growth in urban areas will lead to a demand for transportation that exceeds the capacity of existing roads.
Machinery Battery 5,500 kWh
during its estimated 30-year lifetime – saving more than a million USD annually. The ReVolt is a vision for the future and will not be built until several of the technologies involved have matured. However, it could conceivably be built and operated using current technology. It is intended to serve as an inspiration for equipment manufacturers, shipyards and shipowners as they endeavour to develop new solutions for a safer and more sustainable future.
To alleviate these issues, governments all over the EU are trying to move some of the freight volume from roads to waterways. However, profit margins in the short-sea shipping segment are small.
The ReVolt was initiated as a research project in August 2013 and launched externally a year later. It will continue - and be extended to involve landbased charging facilities and capacities - as a research project within DNV GL.
The innovative ship concept, the ReVolt, is the result of a multi-disciplinary, team-based development project at DNV GL supported by Transnova, Norway and is based on an assessment of current requirements along short-sea routes. The vessel will operate at a speed of 6 knots with a range of 100 nautical miles and a cargo capacity of 100 twentyfoot containers.
For the purpose of testing the autonomous capabilities of ReVolt, a 1:20 scaled model has been built. Through collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), this model will serve as test bench in researching sensor fusion and collision avoidance for autonomous surface vehicles. This competence project will run for three years from Q3 2015.
With no crew, there is no need for crew facilities such as the vessel's superstructure. The resulting increase in loading capacity and low operating and maintenance costs mean that, compared to a dieselrun ship, the ReVolt could save up to USD 34 million

Ranking of technologies
The total energy efficiency of ships can be improved. Through detailed mapping of the energy flow, identification of energy losses, continuous sensor-based monitoring, and implementation of energy Harvesting, Recovery, and Storage (HRS) technologies, the objective of this project is to reduce a ship’s energy loss. An extensive measurement campaign is being carried out to map the energy flow on a test vessel, the LNG carrier BW Suez-Paris. All operating parameters related to vessel performance and energy efficiency are being monitored using high-frequency sensors that measure the performance of all the machinery system's components. The parameters monitored include the fuel consumption, power output, temperatures and pressures at critical locations, as well as weatherrelated information and the vessel’s motions, which are measured by a Motion Response Unit. The measurements are automatically recorded and transmitted to shore every few hours without crew intervention. Algorithms for automatic processing and analysis of the data are currently under development. A graphical user interface is also being developed to provide an easy way for the shipowner to monitor the ship’s performance. The vessel’s machinery system has been modelled in the COSSMOS platform in order to perform an exergy analysis, which identifies the highest energy losses and areas with the highest potential for energy recovery and fuel savings. The model will also be
used to optimize the machinery system's operation and evaluate the potential benefits of introducing new technologies. Some of the technologies considered are various types of natural gas compressors, low-temperature waste heat recovery using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems and the reliquefaction of the boil-off gas. In the last year of the project, the focus will be on the following areas: 1. Further developing our knowledge and capabilities and proving the developed performance-monitoring methodology. This may lead to new Class and Maritime Advisory services. 2. Finalising the energy-flow mapping, based on an exergy analysis and analysis of measurements. 3. Evaluating the potential benefits for a number of selected technologies by performing modelbased assessments.

PLATOS Planning Tool for Optimized Storage
DNV GL STRATEGIC RESEARCH & INNOVATION 15
Electricity storage systems will enable the development of Smart Grids by solving many of the technical challenges. But traditional grid optimization tools do not encompass storage solutions. DNV GL has developed PLATOS as a tool to help grid planners and operators optimize the integration of storage into grids.
Top down vs bottom up In addition to growing penetration levels of renewable energy sources (RES) like solar and wind into the grid, and new consumers (e.g. electric vehicles), grid operators need to cope with ‘bottom up’ scenarios – energy coming from and not to, for example, houses. Traditional grids are designed for ‘top down’ distribution, and traditional grid optimization tools follow this same logic; however, these tools cannot easily cope with bottom-up in the form of RES or energy storage units. Since 2012, DNV GL has been working to overcome this problem together with its partners in the NEMO (EU FP7) project: Fraunhofer ISE (Germany) and EMD International (Denmark); and in consultation with transmission and distribution grid operators from the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Building on this research effort, DNV GL has developed PLATOS as an internal tool for use by DNV GL consultants and engineers in advising grid planners and operators. Finding the best storage solution In a nutshell, PLATOS is a tool that solves complex grid issues through storage. It assists network planners in determining the optimal type, size and location of energy storage systems.
PLATOS allows multiple scenario analyses to be run comparing a variety of solutions. The tool can simulate an entire year of grid operation, and can vary input parameters like the number of RES units and the power demand profiles. The output of the tool is, essentially, a recipe for placing storage units in a grid, including the size and cost of each unit for optimal grid performance and finances. What-if analyses can be performed to compare alternative solutions like grid reinforcements. Next steps Beyond reducing uncertainty for grid planners and operators, PLATOS benefits RES owners and other stakeholders through the same scenario analyses to reduce uncertainty in their operation or policy making. While the present version of PLATOS focuses on storage systems for grid support including cost calculations (investment & operational/maintenance), the focus in 2015 is on integration of market participation. This will encompass the use of the storage system to trade energy on electricity markets to improve the payback time of the system.

As land-based mineral deposits deplete, the sea bed, which holds vast quantities of metal ore at higher concentration than onshore deposits, looks increasingly attractive. A number of operations are already planned and around twenty exploration contracts have been issued by the International Seabed Authority (ISA).
What role can and should DNV GL play in relation to mining’s new frontier? A very significant one, according to a research project conducted in early 2014, which stimulated work towards a DNV GL Recommended Practice on Sustainable Deep Sea Mining, launched internally in December 2014. The objective of the SR&I project was to provide DNV GL with sufficient information to decide if and how to proceed with activities related to deep sea mining.
impacts from seafloor mining, tailings deposited back into the water and processing chemical discharged to the sea.
The regulatory environment was found to be patchy, with large variations in regulatory regime maturity between countries. From 200 nautical miles and further out, International Seabed Authority (ISA) regulations apply, and these have been developed for exploration, but regulations for extraction have yet to be drafted.
Potential market The SR&I project detailed a very broad market for DNV GL services in future deep sea mining projects, which can be summarized as:
Familiar technology Many technical aspects of deep sea mining are familiar to DNV GL: support and bulk (ore) vessels, risers, dynamic positioning, ROV technology, trenching, and so on – but all deployed in a very different setting. The projects are large and complex, and involve a land-based industry operating at sea, where it lacks experience with the risk-based approach used in the offshore industry. Deep sea mining projects do not necessarily have more impact on the environment than onshore projects – this was revealed in a secondary research project in SR&I. However, knowledge of the effect on the deep sea ecology is limited, with potential
Class services for vessels, equipment on seabed Technical advisory and verification Environmental services (risk management, EIAs, etc.) Recommended practice DNV GL can play a leading role in establishing frameworks to foster confidence between the various actors and stakeholders. The process has already begun, with the internal launch of a recommended practice (RP) developed by BA Oil & Gas, presenting an environmental risk-based approach that gives advice to all phases of deep sea mining activities having a direct impact on the environment. Following internal review, the RP will be launched in 2015.

Drag-reducing coating approaches for shipping

DNV GL STRATEGIC RESEARCH & INNOVATION 21
Bio-inspired microstructured surface – for example riblets adapted from shark skin (pictured) have been commercialized, e.g. 3M riblet film. Although allowing up to 13% drag reduction in open water flow, the material presents a challenge in manufacturing and bonding, and is susceptible to wear and damage to the architectures
Can the maritime industry learn from oil & gas pipelines and other industries about low drag coatings? As this wide-ranging study revealed, owing to the multifunctional requirement for marine coatings, there is no single silver bullet solution. DNV GL has a well-established history of research into low drag coatings for the maritime industry. The Optifoul project (2009), for example, developed a decision support tool for selecting optimized antifouling solutions and hull cleaning procedures for ship owners and operators.
So-called ‘smart’ materials, which include selfadjustable bio-inspired surfaces, responsive anti-fouling coatings and built-in MEMS sensors for real-time drag monitoring, show considerable promise for maritime applications, but currently are all in R&D or early, experimental use.
Casting the net wide This project cast the net far wider than previous studies. It set out to establish what we can learn from other industries (oil & gas pipelines, the aviation industry, food & beverage, medical and so on) and from advanced concepts in the research stage to expand choice and progress our understanding of how various low drag solutions can work together optimally for maritime applications.
Finding the best combination The project found that the inherent multifunctional requirement for marine coatings (i.e. anticorrosion, drag reduction and antifouling) means that no single approach is sufficiently effective. Hybrid or joint methods are setting the trend in coating development, as they are in flow drag reduction.
Passive controls are currently used in maritime – they are cheap, more energy efficient and required less maintenance. Active controls are extensively used in the closed channel systems.
The project team has prepared a detailed report, which included recommendations to evaluate one or more promising techniques in a research project run in collaboration with a business area.

When professionals stop asking patients “What is the matter?” and begin to ask “What matters to you?”, the concept of care is expanded to encompass the patient as a person.
But we are not there yet. Existing healthcare systems around the world are no longer sustainable and nor do they provide the best quality of care for patients.
countries with a critical analysis of the literature and interviews with 40 world leaders in healthcare.
Most of the current systems are based on a ‘fix-it’ understanding of healthcare.
Across countries and continents, we find useful examples of what person-centred care could entail. The quality of care can be improved by combining person-centred care with systems and risk thinking.
Increasing numbers of chronic diseases as well as improved health literacy amongst patients are challenging the ‘fix-it’ model. A chronic disease, for example, cannot be fixed easily. The role of the healthcare professional has to become one of helping people to manage their condition – thus cocreating healthcare.
Based on the compelling examples of how cocreation can make a significant difference and how healthcare is provided around the world, we have identified 10 key actions for scaling and spreading person-centred care.
Healthcare systems and healthcare professionals around the world struggle to meet these expectations.
This new approach will include a thorough reconfiguration of the way we view partnerships, patients, care and leadership. The project intends to involve other experts too in order to ensure wider involvement and, in the end, better conclusions.
The creation of a healthcare model that places the patient at the centre of care represents a radical change that calls for new perspectives, new partnerships and new solutions. In this research project initiated and run since 2013, DNV GL and Monday Morning Sustainia are working with global partners to identify, distil and spread best practices in healthcare co-creation. As a first step, we have published a guide to cocreating person-centred care that combines 10 case studies from low-, middle- and high-income
The long-term aim is to build a global platform for co-creating healthcare - Healthcare 100 - that identifies the 100 best solutions for improving healthcare quality each year from around the world and encourages their spread through our international community of practice. We will also use the community to distil the best solutions into our work where appropriate.

Flood Resilience Arnhem High Power Laboratory
DNV GL STRATEGIC RESEARCH & INNOVATION 25
Climate change will usher in more extreme weather. But what are the additional risk levels? The Climate Change team studied this in relation to DNV GL’s High Power Lab on the Rhine River in The Netherlands. This pioneering flood resilience approach can be reused in advisory work for a range of customers.
Electricity and water DNV GL’s High Power Laboratory (HPL) is sited on the Rhine River one hour east of Amsterdam. The lab, which tests components for electrical grids, is the largest of its kind and will soon test the highest voltage equipment in the world. Its riverside position allows heavy equipment to be moved to the laboratory by ship and tested in place on a barge at the river’s edge, but this proximity to water heightens concerns about flooding due to climate change. As such, the HPL was an ideal test case for the Climate Change Programme to conduct a flood resilience study. Pioneering approach This study involved establishing and combining a hydrodynamic numerical model, a statistical assessment of extreme values, and a spatial analysis of the location of the High Power Lab (HPL) to estimate the probabilities of flooding water levels that may impact the HPL. The analysis was completed for the present climate as well as different future climatic scenarios using state-of-the-art 3D flooding
models that are combined with the characteristics of the site obtained from a laser acquisition technique (LIDAR). A regression model was generated to include genuine flood measurements together with model-generated flooding occurrences. A valuable service With the Arnhem case study, DNV GL confirms that we are serious about climate change and its effects, and that we are conscious of the danger that climate change will inflict on society and to businesses, including our own. Pioneering and refining this type of analysis in our own backyard raises confidence in our ability to provide this type of advice and service to customers. In doing so, DNV GL demonstrates its thought leadership on Climate Change, as well as our science-based and practical approach to decision making for a more resilient future.

Materials for Extreme Oil & Gas Wells (MEOW)
Selecting corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs*) for sour service can involve long and costly testing and significant uncertainties in applying the test results. As part of an ongoing JIP, DNV GL is pioneering new modelling and test approaches for improving decision making for a growing range of CRAs.
* Corrosion Resistant Alloys are defined as alloys protected by an oxide film that renders them more resistant than carbon steels to general corrosion in environments relevant to oil and gas production. CRAs can be susceptible to localized corrosion in the form of pitting or crevices, and environmentally assisted cracking.
DNV GL STRATEGIC RESEARCH & INNOVATION 27
Performance limits for highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels in ISO 15156. The data points indicate the specification limits. The cracking mode is likely to be a mix of various EAC, depending on the environmental variables, including ones not explicitly mentioned in this diagram, such as pH and potential. No data are indicated above or below these limits, thus probabilistic information around the limit state is missing.
Another method to delineate the performance of CRAs is to identify regions in the carbon dioxide – hydrogen sulphide pressure space. However, carbon dioxide pressure is much less influential for the performance of the high-end alloys and these boundaries are derived from sparse data.

DNV GL Š 2013
Current limitations Current limits established in ISO 15156 for sour environments have significant uncertainties that can lead to overly conservative materials specification, resulting in unnecessary costs and project delays. The uncertainties principally relate to the fact that the limits specified for alloys are based on laboratory tests and field experiences, mostly using staticallyloaded specimens in a small set of environmental conditions. However, for some wells, bottom hole environmental conditions can become more severe (e.g. higher concentrations of chloride and hydrogen sulphide) as the wells age. It is important, therefore, that the selection process for CRAs is informed by a range of conditions that can be encountered during the life of the well.
A new selection framework A framework for evaluating the long-term performance of advanced CRAs is required, and DNV GL and its consortium partners are developing such a framework. In doing so, we demonstrated that a physics-based modelling approach, combined with limited experiments, is a good approach for materials selection in extreme well environments. We tested a number of CRAs at the limits of their current acceptance to validate this approach. We are extending this concept to other CRAs and presenting the approach to an industry consortium.

(Hypothetical): a Denmark-Netherlands interconnector crosses the paths of export cables from OWPPs supplying power to Germany but is not electrically connected to form an offshore grid.
The interconnector and the wind power export cables are integrated, providing added flexibility and redundancy.
Europe has set itself ambitious targets for renewables in the energy mix and thus urgently needs to increase the penetration of renewables in the electric power systems throughout the continent.
These interconnectors may be located close to the transport cables carrying power from OWPPs whose topology is again point-to-point (from a collector substation offshore to a grid connection point onshore).
Growing grids… A key starting point is to level out the inherent intermittency in renewables by increasing the geographic spread of the renewables connected to the grid. Power sources can thus optimally balance supply and demand – with a simplified example being that if winds speeds drop in one area, it is likely to rise elsewhere.
These cables pass each other like proverbial ships in the night – and this raises the obvious question, why not integrate the power from OWPPs into the country-to-country interconnectors? The NorthSeaGrid project is an attempt to answer this.
This logic implies building more connections in an area like the North Sea, which hosts a great range of power sources through interconnections between UK, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and BeNeLux, and in the form of a growing number of offshore wind power plants (OWPPs). Towards an integrated solution Currently, interconnectors are built according to a point-to-point topology, i.e. power is transported from one country to another using a set of submarine cables with substations in two ports, one at each end of the cable. Examples of such interconnectors are NorwayDenmark, Norway-Netherlands, and the planned Norway-UK and Norway-Germany cables.
Positive results Within the NSG project, in addition to playing a leading role in the technical design of the suggested integrated solutions, DNV GL is the leader of the work package on cost & benefit calculations that includes qualitative and quantitative risk analyses. Our expertise in cost uncertainty made us the ideal choice for the leadership of this work package. The results indicate that it will indeed be more beneficial, for only a slight addition of risk, to implement the integrated designs for offshore grid in the North Sea.

PERSONAL HIGHLIGHTS Felicity "Fliss" Jones Senior Consultant – Renewables Climate Change A highlight for me was using our world-leading renewables knowledge base as a platform to make recommendations on the Energy targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, on behalf of the International Council for Science (ICSU). The discussions deepened our insight into the unique energy drivers of developing markets – and gave DNV GL a great opportunity to contribute to the international debate.
Grunde Løvoll Senior Researcher Information Technology The ‘big data platform pilot’ was the most exciting project for me. We bought and installed a Hadoop system on the high performance computing cluster operated by GSS IT, working with our colleagues there and an external partner, Cloudera. I believe that this investment will build key big data capabilities and competence for DNV GL and the system will be the foundation for many exciting projects in 2015.

Tore Kuhnle Senior Researcher Oil & Gas and Energy Systems My year was dominated by a deep-dive (so to speak) into the business case of the Subsea Factory as a field development concept. Determining how all the various bits and pieces work together caused lots of headaches through the year but it’s given us deeper insights into the limitations and strengths of the concept, lifting our knowledge to a system level. Look out for our position paper on the Subsea Factory in 2015!
George Dimopoulos Senior Researcher Maritime Technology I had the opportunity to develop and apply a novel methodology for the efficiency assessment and mapping of losses onboard ships. We used advanced thermodynamics to introduce a ‘common currency’ for efficiency, using exergy, which is the maximum useful work that can be derived from a process, component or a system. This methodology was then applied to real-world cases, assessing complex machinery systems for LNG carrier propulsion and novel technologies like fuel cells.

PERSONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Bente Pretlove Programme Director Climate Change The Climate Change Programme has made great strides this year and it has been fantastic to be part of the journey. A particular highlight was the launch of our adaptation projects during the 150 year jubilee events. I’ve been able to meet customers and employees throughout the world and the feedback on the relevance and importance of our work has been great. This has really opened up the doors for exciting projects in 2015.
Ole Andreas Flagstad Principal Engineer Strategic Foresight I started with SR&I in May 2014 and was immediately involved in work around how DNV GL needs to consider the new data reality. One early task was to contribute with scenario competence for a Group Leadership Development-group working on big data. It was exciting to see how this topic popped up in the different corners of the organization and how the work we did contributed to coordinated decisions at CTO level by the end of 2014. I look forward to the next steps in 2015.
Bobbie Nicole Ray-Sannerud Senior Researcher Healthcare Being new to DNV GL, I’ve been exposed to exciting discussions with leading healthcare experts. This has inspired me to work with colleagues on a new research project that incorporates why some healthcare workers are more resilient than others. Focusing on what goes right, rather than on what goes wrong, personally motivates me in developing research that is applied and can have a rapid impact.

Francois Ayello Principal engineer Materials programme It was motivating to see what used to be just an idea become a new business for DNV GL. The MARV project is capturing experts’ knowledge into Bayesian networks. This was such a challenge that when we started 3 years ago, we were not sure it would be possible. In 2014 we saw this project finally become a successful pilot. 2015 will be exciting too; DNV GL SR&I will handover MARV to multiple DNV GL business units across the globe.
Erik de Jong Principal Consultant Power Systems & Electrification I was excited to find that the hardware-in-the-loop test approach – which still needs to find its way into the power sector – is already at play elsewhere in DNV GL, such as vessel control code validation (performed by Marine Cybernetics) and wind turbine mechanical design validation (Renewable Advisory). The opportunities it brings for consolidation of expertise across DNV GL and for accelerated deployment of Power Cybernetics in the Flex Power Grid Lab for the power sector is as much motivational as it is exciting.
Yin Sun Power System Researcher Power Systems & Electrification For me, the highlight of the year is my exploration of three worlds: SR&I, Business and Academica. In the business area, I have helped our Middle East client develop and verify the world’s first complex custom made protection system called “Directional Power Scheme”. In the SR&I area, I was invited by the 2014 China Wind Power Conference Organisation to deliver a keynote speech on “Wind Power Grid Compliance”. In the academic arena, I have submitted a technical paper to the CIRED 2015 Conference featuring a smart distribution grid technology. All great opportunities to strengthen DNV GL’s thought leadership in the world's energy arena.

A BROADER VIEW DNV GL celebarated its 150th aniversary in 2014, which also happened to be year one of the merged company. As important as looking back and celebrating, was looking ahead and focusing on the future.
DNV GL STRATEGIC RESEARCH & INNOVATION 37
BETTER DECISIONS In DNV GL's 150th year, we explored six ‘themes for the future’ – areas where we could leverage our history and expertise to translate our vision into impact. We selected these themes as part of our efforts to take a broader view of the relationship between technology, business and society.
THE ARCTIC The decline of sea ice means that the Arctic is more accessible than ever before.
ADAPTATION TO A CHANGING CLIMATE The climate is already changing, and mitigation is no longer sufficient.
ELECTRIFYING THE FUTURE Electrification holds the potential to decouple society’s energy use from its greenhouse gas emissions.
THE FUTURE OF SHIPPING The drive for sustainability is rewriting the rules for all industries – and shipping will be no exception.
FROM TECHNOLOGY TO TRANSFORMATION A safe and sustainable future is technically possible.
A SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE: ENABLING THE TRANSITION Business as usual is not an option.

PUBLICATIONS ARCTIC TECHNOLOGY Special projects: The Arctic Competence Escalator (ACE) was a project based educational learning programme designed, planned and executed jointly by Statoil and DNV GL. The content was to a large extent based on input from the Arctic Programme. ACE ran from March 2013 to June 2014. Increased focus on Arctic projects and developments had identified needs to broaden Arctic competence in both companies. The project is interesting and nominated as a Special project for the Research review 2014 for the following reasons: It is an excellent example of cooperation with a customer on a topic of common interest. It addressed common strategies and similar ambitions of the two companies. It gave course participants a better understanding of the culture in the two companies, paving the way for better cooperation. It introduced selected Statoil and DNV GL employees to the particulars of oil and gas (O&G) activities in the Arctic. It demonstrated the advantage of splitting costs.
