The document discusses technology development at Statoil, including exploration, reservoir, drilling, production, process upgrading, refining and market technologies. It focuses on remote hot tap technology, which allows connecting a branch pipe to an existing pipeline without shutting it down. Key developments include the first remote hot tap operation in 2008 at 145m depth and the deepest at 860m depth in 2009. Ongoing work involves a remotely welded retrofit tee and internal pressure barrier. The document also discusses the reservoir conformance plate valve, which aims to increase oil production from thin zones and heterogeneous reservoirs by choking gas and water using movable disks based on the Bernoulli principle.
