About the conference

«A unique opportunity to engage with IOR professionals and researchers from Norway as well as Europe and further afield.»

IOR NORWAY 2021 and the 14th International Symposium on Reservoir Wettability and its Effects on Oil Recovery will be arranged 26-28 April.

The National IOR Centre of Norway organizes an annual conference with more than 300 participants, IOR NORWAY. The 2021 edition is the 7th conference organized by the Centre.

The distribution between participants from industry and academia is normally close to 50/50. These conferences have helped to bring industry and academia together, and as a direct result of the conference, several collaborative projects with industry and the research communities IFE, NORCE and University of Stavanger have begun. Our conferences have made the Centre visible nationally and internationally.

Symposium on Reservoir Wettability

In the symposium, Monday 26th April, we will focus on the main factors affecting reservoir wettability, how reservoir wettability could be described and/or measured, and optimized core restoration procedures to improve quality of laboratory data.

The symposium is divided into two main parts

Fundamentals of reservoir wettability
Wettability measurements, core restoration and reservoir wettability modelling
