Ny virkelighet på sokkelen: – Fallet kommer ubønnhørlig
Nå nærmer produksjonsfallet seg på norsk sokkel, advarer Sokkeldirektoratet.
The oil and gas industry is taking a significant toll on Norway's national oil fund each year, gradually filling up with new reserves, according to veteran oil expert Arne Svendby. Recent figures from the Directorate of Oil Exploration (Sokkeldirektoratet) show a similar picture: without major discoveries, production could plunge sharply after 2030, according to this year's resource report.
Norway's national oil fund still has vast resources, but the increase in new reserves over the past decade has been so slow that the production decline warned about for some time is now inevitable, says Sokkeldirektoratet's director Torgeir Stordal.
