AUCOTEC: Engineering Dialogue at Eye Level in Stavanger
First“Norwegian Continental Shelf Engineering Base User Forum” sets strong impulses for data-driven engineering in the Oil&Gas sector
(PresseBox) - When operators, EPCs (Engineering, Procurement and Construction companies) and technology partners meet at the heart of Norway’s energy industry, the result is more than a traditional user meeting – it becomes a strategic dialogue about the future of engineering. This was precisely the spirit that shaped the first Norwegian Continental Shelf Engineering Base User Forum in early February 2026 in Stavanger.
Hosted by Aker BP, the event brought together industry experts for two intensive days of exchange, real-world insights and forward-looking technological perspectives at the company’s Stavanger offices. Seven companies – Aker BP, Aibel, Equinor, Kongsberg Maritime, ABB, Topsoe and, last but not least, Engineering Base developer AUCOTEC – contributed their views on current challenges and solution strategies related to the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
From AUCOTEC’s perspective, particular emphasis was placed on strategic developments in Plant Engineering and the Oil & Gas environment. Key industry trends were discussed, including the end-to-end use of consistent engineering data, the growing importance of standardized data models and the need for integrated platforms to manage complex, multidisciplinary projects. One message became clear: future-ready engineering requires the seamless alignment of technology, processes and global collaboration.
Another focal point was the product strategy surrounding the 2026 release of Engineering Base. Topics such as Global Engineering Management (GEM), performance enhancements and the targeted use of artificial intelligence in engineering illustrated how data-driven working methods can be further professionalized. AI is not viewed as an isolated feature, but as an intelligent component of integrated workflows – from data validation to project control.
A live demonstration provided hands-on insight into how modern standards such as DEXPI 2.0, CFIHOS and IMF elevate interoperability and data quality to a new level. Particularly in demanding offshore environments, a consistent and standardized flow of data has become a decisive success factor.
With the launch in Stavanger, AUCOTEC and its partners have established a communication platform that can serve as a key driver for innovation and collaboration in the Norwegian market. The feedback from participants clearly demonstrated the strong demand for dialogue, standardization and technological advancement – and Engineering Base plays a central role in this development.
"The first Engineering Base User Forum in Norway was a success, and I am especially happy about the open atmosphere and the participants’ willingness to share knowledge and experiences across companies,” states Anders Høie, General Manager of AUCOTEC Norway. “I know almost all of the participants, and I am impressed by their level of expertise and their ambitions for Engineering Base in Norway.”
