Go first. Joint innovation in the energy industry.
The growing demand for energy implies a constant need for innovation. Through our involvement with the energy industry, DNV is developing new technologies, methodologies and competences.
DNV has always focused on renewing our knowledge and setting new standards. We issued our first principles for offshore drilling platforms in 1970, and have since issued a large number of new and revised codes. Most of the work is done through joint industry projects. A number of exciting ongoing projects are helping the industry to safely and responsibly improve their business performance. The projects focus on the following segments:
The efforts are executed worldwide and co-ordinated through the leadership team of DNV Energy.
We are excited about our ongoing projects and look forward to continue working with the industry to lead the way. Join us in setting new standards for the energy sector. Let's go first.
At DNV, we work continuously to improve technologies, methodologies and solutions related to the energy sector. Close collaboration with the industry has been key to the results we have produced.
The sharing of knowledge is a key driver of progress. Making new methodologies and knowledge available to the industry is therefore an important part of DNV’s mission. We do this by launching new services, and we do it by codifying the knowledge in the form of new standards and recommended practices.
New ideas are generated every day by our worldwide staff – inspired by close interaction with key customers and partners. Sometimes it is an extension of current knowledge and methodologies. At other times we come up with totally novel knowledge or applications. In both cases we want to work closely with the industry to develop the ideas further.

DNV’s core philosophy is that technology development and knowledge sharing increase innovation and safety. So when the industry is facing challenges, the best way of solving these is for industry players to join forces through Joint Industry Projects (JIPs). Together we in this way develop the world’s best practices and standards.

In response to recent research and development work and the industry’s operational experiences with mooring systems, DNV has now released a complete set of Offshore Standards covering systems design, materials, product quality, certification requirements and the fabrication process.

The increase in exploration and production activities in deep waters has made the use of steel wire ropes as segments in mooring systems more common. This trend has motivated DNV and industry partners to issue a new steel wire rope mooring standard.

DNV is leading a unique collaboration between the Norwegian IT, defence, oil and gas industries to develop a digital platform for the next generation integrated operations.
