10 Improve business culture It is necessary for a non-profit R&D institute to earn money! More heavily integrated projects Educate project managers for big and challenging projects 10

11 Adapt technology to new areas of application Exploration Production Drilling Basin scale Province scale Field scale Well scale 11

12 s Co-operation The SMIFF-project and its spin-offs SMIFF Pilot PhD study at NTNU The SMIFF project The SMIFF2 project PhD study at UiB Pressim Case Studies 2 PhD studies at UiO Commercialization study Partly funded by NFR Financed by the industry 12

13 How to survive as a technological petroleum institute, in a global technological climate of international competitors Important elements Long term R&D focus is necessary Increase governmental R&D funding like Petromaks Internal funding to initiate strategic research is important Learning to operating under new business cultures Improve internal business culture Develop technology to fit new market areas Co-operation, nationally and internationally 13
