NORNER is a fully independent industrial polymer institute We are your technological partner to the offshore industry

Industrial Impact

Norner provide technology projects and support to the industry. We follow the long traditions of being, an important partner for the whole plastic value chain. We support customers directly with their required testing and we strive to make a difference for the industry. Offshore exploration and production activity increasingly involves operations in high-pressure,high-temperature (HPHT) conditions. This environment introduces difficult technical concerns throughout the life of a well. Polymer components, though often very small compared to the installation or equipment in focus, can be extremely critical for the long-term reliability. Therefore compatibility testing according to NORSOK M-710 or ISO 23936 is of key importance.
