In 2021, OTD Energy was visited by over 600 students and young employees in the industry. OTD Young is an arena that shows the opportunities for young people in the petroleum industry, the importance of Norwegian petroleum production and what role the industry will play in the energy transition.
At OTD Energy Young, students and young employees are invited to take part in the discussion. Here we plan professional presentations from young employees in the industry who give concrete examples of how the industry is helping to solve today’s climate challenges.
Meet the OTD Energy Young sponsors
Welcome to OTD Energy Young
A separate area has been set aside for OTD Energy Young in hall C. Here there will be good networking opportunities and a separate stage with professional content. The participants are offered a free lunch from Framo, which is the lunch sponsor at the Young event.
The program will start at 10.00 on the first day of the fair. The program will end at 14.00 with “The decarbonisation Challenge” on the main stage, the Energy Stage. You can see the entire program here.
Presentations from Young Professionals
We invite young employees from the partner companies to give a short presentation about what it is like to work for the company and the segment of the industry they represent. We also encourage the speaker to share their assessments that were made when they were about to enter working life and how they see the future prospects for the industry in which they work.
There will be a total of 10 presentations at OTD Energy.
Presentation lasts 10 minutes. Tips for what the presentation should contain:
- Must be held by a young professional from the company.
- This should be a presentation that the speaker could wish someone had given when the speaker was a student.
- Must have a personal touch.
- Brief about the company
- Description of career choice and experience from the company.
- Opportunities further in the company.
- Possible technologies from the company within the professional field in which the employee works.
- Share thoughts about the future of their industry.

Assessing the geochemical interaction of storing bed minerals with carbonated water for CCS projects
The greenhouse effect, which causes global warming and climate change, is facilitated by the discharge of carbon dioxide into the earth’s atmosphere. To reduce emission impacts, CO2 can be injected into underground storage locations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline aquifers. Injected CO2 can interact with the formation water and rock minerals leading to various geochemical alterations that must be screened to improve the understanding of in-situ mineralization mechanisms as well as numerical models for large-scale simulations.

Both operators and suppliers are dependent on attracting skilled and qualified employees to maintain and develop their business. By being visible to students, the companies can attract interest and attention from potential candidates who can contribute to their growth and success in the future.
Being visible to students and young employees gives operators and suppliers an opportunity to market themselves and build a positive reputation among the next generation of professionals. It can create awareness of the company’s values, commitment to sustainable practices and career opportunities. This can be particularly important at a time when many students are looking for employers who take social responsibility and have a positive impact.
The players in the industry face ever-increasing demands for sustainability, energy efficiency and environmentally friendly solutions. By being visible to students, companies can gain access to new ideas, perspectives and technologies. Students often bring fresh and innovative approaches to problem solving, and their participation can help stimulate innovation and drive the industry forward.
Being visible to students gives operators and suppliers the opportunity to establish and develop a strong network with future professionals. By participating in OTD Energy Young, the companies can build relationships with students who can later become colleagues, customers, suppliers or partners. A strong network can be invaluable when it comes to accessing talent and creating synergies in the industry.
Operators and suppliers have valuable knowledge and experience that can be shared with students. For companies that have internships, trainee programs and mentoring schemes, OTD Energy will be an effective arena to reinforce awareness of these initiatives. This helps to build competence and prepare students for future roles in the industry.
