Introduction Strategies for the Norwegian Continental Shelf Status and challenges - Norwegian part of Barents Sea Geological understanding Development Technology Environmental Impact Cooperation Internationally Norway – Russia Closing Remarks The Norwegian Continental Shelf Barents Sea • proven resources mainly gas • remotely from gas market - LNG • less developed infrastructure • moderate water depth (200-400m) Norwegian Sea • mainly gas- & condensate fields • deep water areas (300-2000m) Northern North Sea • giant oil & gas fields • well established infrastructure • tail production and satellite tie ins • moderate water depth (150-300m) Southern North Sea • giant oil fields (chalk) • mature infrastructure after 40 years activity • shallow water (70-150m)

Subordinate to the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE) Advisory body to the MPE Exercise management authority Established 1972 in Stavanger 220 employees; – engineers, geologists, economist etc The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate will contribute in creating the greatest possible value for society from oil and gas activities by means of prudent resource management, based on safety, emergency preparedness and safeguarding the natural environment. Resource overview as of 31 December 2008
Total resources approx. 13 billion Sm3 o.e. (82 bboe) Range of uncertainty (10-16 billion Sm3 o.e. (63 -100 bboe)) 5.1 billion Sm3 o.e produced 3.4 billion Sm3 o.e. undiscovered 60 fields in production 11 fields being developed 73 discoveries Petroleum production Production forecast Main elements of a long-term strategy
Five important challenges regarding resource management: 1. More resources from existing fields 2. Increase production of gas, but also taking care of the oil/gas balance 3. Discover new resources – access to exploration acreage 4. Co-existence on the sea
5. Decrease the emissions of CO2 OG 21 - Norway’s National Technology Strategy
1. Environmental technology for the future 2. Exploration and reservoir characterization 3. Enhanced recovery 4. Cost effective drilling and intervention 5. Integrated operations and real time reservoir management 6. Sub sea processing and transport 7. Deep water and sub sea production technologies 8. Gas technologies

2008: 2D and 3D data acquired 2009: 2 - 3D vessels 6 weeks (close dialogue with the fisheries organisations) Areas to be decided Research on scaring effects 2010: Conclude new mapping of the resource potential in Nordland VII and Troms II Revision of the management plan
18 7/2/2009 Coexistence at sea
The petroleum activities and fisheries have existed side by side for many decades Conflict level has escalated in the last couple of years Joint report from the Directorate of Fisheries and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate proposes measures to improve coexistence
02.07.200919 Challenges in the Arctic Region Main challenges Environment, Fisheries, Logistics, Distance, Remoteness, Ice, Darkness… Area management plan as basis for new conditions applied on the petroleum activity Among the strictest environmental regimes in the world Petroleum activity calls for new technology New technology is the key to developments in the area land-based facilities Sub-sea installations The Norwegian petroleum cluster has an opportunity to take a central role in the development Our environmental expertise Our competence in sub-sea development Our knowledge regarding long distance transport of oil and gas Developing the resource potential in the Arctic will demand substantial R&D effort in the years to come.
