12 Modern Facilities High Performance Visualization and Computing Huge amounts of data and demanding computational tasks are typical for many of the petroleum disciplines. Through a close collaboration with Norsk Hydro, the department has been able to install a floor-to-ceiling Virtual Reality laboratory, with a dedicated 32-processor SGI computer. The laboratory is used primarily for visualization of seismic data and reservoir fluid flow. Other applications are under development. We have close collaboration with other departments at, such as medicine and computer science. 12

13 Industry-Sponsored Field Courses Integrated in M.Sc. Program Geological Field Courses Through close collaboration with Statoil, Norsk Hydro, BP, and Shell several new field courses for the M.Sc. students have been developed over the past few years. The courses take place at Svalbard, in England, in the Pyrenees and in Oman. 13

14 Multi-Disciplinary Groups Group-based multidisciplinary learning processes Considerable resources are invested in modern learning methods and technology over the past few years (PBL, multi-disciplinary groups, webbased learning). Through close collaboration with Norwegian oil companies, in particular with Statoil, large amounts of field data and realistic field problems have become freely available for education and research. In addition resources for investment in modern equipment and facilities for the development of inspiring and effective learning environments have been made available. 14

15 Strong Petroleum Research Program More than 20 full-time professors in Drilling, Production, Reservoir, Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics 50 Ph.D. students are involved in thesis research Annually 90 M.Sc. theses are completed 15

16 Research collaboration with industry Long-term collaboration agreement with Norsk Hydro Long-term collaboration agreement with Statoil Long-term collaboration agreement with Shell Long-term collaboration agreement with TOTAL Long-term collaboration agreement with Enterprise Oil (Shell) (Long-term collaboration agreement with BP) Individual project agreements with most oil companies 16
