2. Introduction (1) - Business opportunities in
Northern Norway
• In recent years, the northern Norwegian economy has grown faster than the rest of the country - a
development that is expected to continue in the coming years. Norway's future welfare depends on growth
in the north.
– The government’s national budget includes investments of NOK 3,15 billion in the northern Norway for
2015. The focus areas will be: international cooperation, business, education, Infrastructure and the
environment, and security.
– Unemployment will remain low and the continued growth means that the region needs more expertise.
• It is estimated that there will be total investments of NOK 300 billion in Northern Norway during 2014-2022.
From these investments, there will be:
– Private investments: NOK 211 billion
– Public investments: NOK 89 billion
• At the moment, the situation in Northern Norway is:
– Ongoing investments: NOK 32 billion
– Financed investments: NOK 57 billion
– Planned investments: NOK 210 billion

5. Offshore (continental shelf, “sokkel”) -
Market Demand (1)
• There is optimism in the industry with new reserves found in recent years, even in mature areas.
Together, these discoveries amount to 400-600 million barrels of oil equivalents. Therefore, there
will be several new projects on the Norwegian continental shelf and in Norwegian waters in the
next 10-15 years. Several of these will demand new technology and risk taking.
• The authorities are facilitating increased oil and gas activities in Northern Norway, and the oil
companies and the supplier industry are therefore moving north. The challenge in this area is that
demanding Arctic conditions require new knowledge and technological solutions that meet
requirements relating to HSE, operations in environmentally vulnerable areas and cost-efficient
development and production.
• There are licencing rounds every year, some years in mature areas, but sometimes in new areas.
The demarcation agreement with Russia gave us 87,000 square kilometeres of new shelf and there
is currently a process on whether to open up new areas in the far north in the future.
• In the Petroleum White Paper, the Government has confirmed the strategy for developing the
petroleum with a proactive, parallel commitment to:
– Increased recovery from production fields
– Developing commercial/profitable discoveries
– Exploring in open acreage and
– Opening up new areas

6. Offshore (continental shelf, “sokkel”) -
Market Demand (2)
• The Norwegian shelf is well-equipped to face and tackle the changes that are happening, in spite of the significant
uncertainty in the petroleum industry.
• In 2014, 22 new discoveries were made – two more than in 2013. Once again, exploration activity was highest in the
North Sea where a total of eight oil and gas deposits were proven. Five discoveries were made in the Norwegian
Sea, and nine in the Barents Sea.
– Large investments with several new fields planned to start production in the coming years. This includes
projects such as Johan Sverdrup, Aasta, Hansten, Edvard Grieg, Norvarg and Goliat.
• For example, at Goliat (the oil field in the Barents Sea) the production is planned to start in mid-2015. In
Hammerfest, local industry gets contracts and other spin-offs by the project.

7. Offshore (continental shelf, “sokkel”) -
Market Demand (3)
• It is estimated that NOK 172 billion was invested in the petroleum activities on the self in 2014.
Investments are expected to drop around 15 per cent from 2014 to 2015 and by an additional
eight per cent to 2017, and will then plateau with a moderate increase from 2018.

8. Offshore (continental shelf, “sokkel”) -
Market Demand (4)
• High costs and weaker oil prices could drive necessary readjustments that will
strengthen the petroleum industry over the long-term. (Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, NPD)
• Eleven fields were under development at the end of 2014: nine in the North Sea, one
in the Norwegian Sea and one in the Barents Sea. This is a record-high number and
will result in considerable investments over the next few years.
– "There are currently 79 producing fields on the Norwegian shelf. These are profitable fields
where both the State and the companies are making money, and this is how it will stay, even if
the oil price should drop further," (Bente Nyland, General Director/NPD, 15.1.2015)
– “55 per cent of Norway's total oil and gas resources remain in place, waiting to be produced.
These remaining resources provide a basis for continued significant value creation and high
activity level for many years to come.” (Bente Nyland, General Director/NPD , 15.1.2015)
