NGI assists the oil, gas and energy industry with expertise within exploration, development, and operation of offshore fields.

NGI assists the construction industry on the development, design and building of infrastructure, in Norway and internationally.

NGI assissts authorities, industry and private owners with expertise related to slides and avalanches and assessment of risk.

NGI assists authorities and industry with solutions for contaminated sediments, ground and groundwater.

We use knowledge of soil modelling and soil response from vibrations and dynamic loading, to evaluate the effects of earthquakes.

Our rock expertise enables us to make assessments, and plan and engineer the construction of tunnels and underground caverns.

NGI develops methods for sampling, risk assessment and measuring related to contaminated ground and marine sediments.

NGI contributes with research and development, as well as engineering design, and follow-up of ground construction works.

We have expertise on the behaviour and numerical analysis of geomaterials when subjected to vibrations and dynamic loading.

NGI's expertise in geophysics focus on methods and equipment for mapping offshore reservoirs and detecting oil and gas.

NGI has the scientific know-how to exploit and develop works for utilization of the environmentally sound heat energy stored in the ground.

Our expertise is related to data management and standardisation, 3D modelling, visualisation and remote analysis.

NGI has expertise on hydro- geological field methods, groundwater flow, pollutant dispersion, water, sanitary and hygienic conditions.

NGI develop and use instrumentation and monitoring both during the construction phase and in operation of structures.

The quality of investigation of strength and deformation properties for geomaterials has made the NGI laboratory famous world wide.

NGI develop numerical models on mechanical behaviour of geomaterials based on sound under- standing behaviour.

NGI's research provides a substantial contribution in developing new foundation concepts for offshore and sub-sea installations.

NGI has expertise in drilling, sampling and in situ testing, laboratory testing, soil behaviour and selection of design parameters.

We have expertise in both sophisticated rock mechanics testing and geomechanical modelling and analysis of reservoirs.

Our expertise is related to engineering behaviour of soils, and our ability to determine required level of sampling and testing.

NGI develop calculation methods for avalanches, hazards mapping, avalanche warning and emergency planning.

NGI's specialist expertise is slide triggering mechanisms, run-out distance, landslide risk and design of protective measures.

NGI provides specialist prototype development, installation and operational monitoring, and subsea data communication.

NGI has knowledge on how tsunamis arise and propagate and can estimate wave heights, run-up height and potential danger zones.

Wind turbine parks are under development and construction, and some are in use along the coasts in many European countries.

NGI will host the 3rd International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (ISFOG) 10-12 June 2015 in Oslo, Norway.

Seismic exploration can be used to locate reservoirs in substrata, but cannot establish if these reservoirs contain oil/gas or water.

Depositing CO2 in the underground can give an important contribution in reducing the global climate changes.
