Shining new light on an old basin – revisiting and revitalising the regional geology of the Norwegian Continental Shelf
Presenter: Ian Sharp, Equinor
Whilst exploration activity in the UK North Sea has been very low over the past few years, the Norwegians have shown the contrary, with many wells drilled per year. It is thanks to this drilling activity and the acquisition of new seismic data that the understanding of sedimentary systems such as the Brent has evolved from the classic picture that existed twenty years ago. During this talk, Ian Sharp from Equinor will explain how integrating new subsurface data, supplemented by UK-Greenland outcrop information, has updated the company’s regional insight, enabling the identification of new exploration sweet spots.
As always, Westwood Global Energy Group brings you the latest updates on North Sea drilling activity.

Welcome to the 5th annual conference on Seabed Minerals!
Demand for critical minerals is expected to be greater than the supply from the mining industry and recycling. Further, the value chains are highly geographically concentrated, making them vulnerable to political instability, geopolitical risks, natural disasters and possible export restrictions.
A handful of countries have taken the lead in developing technology and knowledge for exploration and extraction of deep-sea minerals. The race toward production has started…
Under the patronage of His Excellency Abdel Fattah El Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, EGYPES will take place on 30 March-1 April 2026, exploring how Egypt, at the heart of Africa and the Mediterranean, is driving responsible energy transformation. Held under the theme ‘Transforming energy through collaboration, action and realism’ EGYPES unites global energy leaders, policymakers, and industry pioneers to redefine energy systems, advance sustainable energy transformations, and unlock opportunities for regional progress in the backdrop of global energy transition.
