Glenn Roar Halvorsen Presenter
Glenn Roar Halvorsen Project Manager All Electric Subsea Project Manager All Electric Subsea - EQUINOR Glenn is the project manager for All Electric, one of the key technology development programs in Equinor. Together with our operator partners, we are forming the next step towards efficient subsea developments. Glenn started in Equinor gaining experience from Statfjord early in his career learning commissioning and operation of production system. This early foundation has broadened through key development projects in Equinor, such as the Asgard subsea gas compression facility. A technology which is on route to increase recovery from the Mikkel and Midgard structures by around 282 million barrels of oil equivalent. His experience cover technology development, FEED, project development, commissioning with a key experience in process control, safety system and subsea control system.
