8. AOB
Due to the
SAS airconflict quite a few people did not turn up
and the agenda was therefore not strictly followed.
We were
given thorough presentations both from UIB (Eldholm)
and CIPR (Skauge). These presentations can be
forwarded upon request.
The
following conclusions were made
- Arild will follow up the
contact with Olav Eldholm in connection with the
sub Basalt project and discuss how to plan for/secure a drilling slot in the
Ocean Drilling Research Project that Olav is associated with.
- Ragnar will outline a project
proposal at the OG21 Flor and Fjære seminar May 10th on Education.
- Future meetings in the Force
Research Committee will be held at various sites. Next meeting will be in Trondheim were there
will be a dialogue with the University and Research institutions. Statoil
will host the meeting, date not fixed yet.
- There does not seem to be a
need for more communication between the various Force Committees than
already in place on the spring/autumn meetings with the board. The
Committee Leaders will be informed on the Research Committee meetings and
may attend if they find it of interest.
- The Research Committee Members
as well as representatives from the other Force committees are (hereby) encouraged
to attend and contribute in the discussions at the OG21 meeting at Flor and Fjære May 10th.
