Joint innovation in the oil & gas industry.

New standards for the oil & gas industry

Through our involvement with the oil & gas industry, DNV is developing new technologies, methodologies and competences.

DNV has always focused on renewing our knowledge and setting new standards. We issued our first principles for offshore drilling platforms in 1970, and have since issued a large number of new and revised codes. Most of the work is done through joint industry projects. A number of exciting ongoing projects are helping the industry to safely and responsibly improve their business performance. The projects focus on the following segments:

  • Deep and ultra-deepwater field development
  • Floating offshore installations
  • Offshore and onshore pipelines
  • Natural Gas/LNG
  • Refining and petrochemicals
  • Arctic operations and technology
  • Operations excellence.

We are excited about our ongoing projects and look forward to continue working with the industry to lead the way. Join us in setting new standards for the oil & gas industry.

Standards speed up innovation

DNV’s core philosophy is that technology development and knowledge sharing increase innovation and safety. So when the industry is facing challenges, the best way of solving these is for industry players to join forces through Joint Industry Projects (JIPs). Together we in this way develop the world’s best practices and standards.

DNV leads Integrated Operations development

DNV is leading a unique collaboration between the Norwegian IT, defence, oil and gas industries to develop a digital platform for the next generation integrated operations.
