Minister of petroleum and energy Tord Lien opened today Statoil’s new research centre for improved oil recovery (IOR) at Rotvoll in Trondheim, mid-Norway.

A key element in reaching our 60% recovery rate ambition on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) is now in place.

Statoil’s head of research Lars Høier underlined the importance of research and technology development in his speech of welcome.

“The opening of the IOR centre is a milestone for us, but our main resource is still our clever and knowledgeable colleagues who create wonderful results in applying their skills.”
