== Background for the project ==

=== Challenges in the High North ===

The Arctic region holds vast amounts of extractive energy resources. Following a study from the US Geological Survey<ref name="USGS">[http://energy.usgs.gov/arctic/ USGS, Circum-Arctic Resource Appraisal]</ref>, these resources account for about 22% of the undiscovered, technically recoverable resources in the world., most of which is offshore beneath thick ice and deep water. Known areas of reserves are the North Slope in Alaska (USA), East Siberia, West Siberia, the Timan-Pechora area, South/North Barents (Russia), the Vesrford Helgeland area east of Norway, and East Greenland. The map on the right shows some of the discoveries off Norway and the western part of Russia.[[BR]]



== Goal for the project ==

The primary objective of the project is to develop a demonstrated reliable digital platform for Integrated Operation Generation 2 (IO G2) in the High North. The platform will be piloted in decision support pilots within drilling, R&P, O&M in the High North.

IO G2 for the High North shall facilitate operations in remote and hazardous conditions, the use of limited operational personnel and “zero footprint” solutions.

A brief project description is under construction.

== Information Dissemination ==
An information dissemination exist. It can be found [wiki:IOHN/InformationDissemination here]. The intention is that presentations form workshops, conferences and seminars as well as papers published in the context of IOHN or which are relevant for the project will be available.
