ntelligent Energy is the largest and most important forum for the oil and supply industry related to Integrated Operations (IO).
The aim of IO is to use real time communication to improve the efficiency of interaction between disciplines and decision-makers, regardless of geographical location.
Fibre-optic cables and solutions for high-speed communication connect platforms, people, computers and continents in a new way and open for improved collaboration.
"Real time competence sharing is necessary in a complex and demanding industry. It is all about integrated operations and people in a seamless collaboration, independent of organisation, time and place," Lund said in connection with a panel discussion where major participants in the industry presented their visions for unrestrained interaction and intelligent energy.
"Our future success is dependent on our ability to draw on our experience from the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) when we go global. New work processes and interaction by means of IO will facilitate the sharing of knowledge between Norwegian experts, suppliers, and local operators in other countries," Lund said.
