| | | | | Since its launch in 1974, the biennial ‘ONS’ event in
Stavanger, Norway, has become one of the world’s leading oil and
energy meeting places. From its earlier focus on offshore technology
and the Norwegian continental shelf, the expo now covers the global
energy industry. ONS 2010 takes place 24-27 August 2010.
