Francis NormanHOST
Do you want to give us a bit of maybe a backstory and then also the vision for the future?

Tim CroucherGUEST
So five years ago plus, the operators in Norway, pretty much all the operators in Norway got together with a goal to try and look at P&A, plugging and abandonment of wells on the Norwegian continental shelf, and try and identify possible solutions to reduce, significantly reduce, both the cost of P&A and the environmental footprint of P&A.

Tim CroucherGUEST
And after a good 18 months of joint industry meetings, they decided the best way to progress that initiative would be to establish an independent team.

Tim CroucherGUEST
So again, under the technology cluster ETN, Energy Transition Norway, they set up a small team, which we now call Go Radical P&A, which is myself and my two colleagues, Kjell-Erik Drevdal and David Gardner.

Tim CroucherGUEST
and initially our role was to identify new technologies that had the potential to significantly impact the efficiency of P&A, reduce the cost and reduce the environmental footprint.

Tim CroucherGUEST
We very quickly realised that we were given a goal of actually reducing both cost and environmental footprint of 50%.
