Risks and Barriers for Norwegian Companies on the Russian Oil-And-Gas Market
Bodø Graduate School of Business Master of Science in Energy Management EN 310 E Risks and Barriers for Norwegian Companies on the Russian Oil-and-Gas Market by MARINA GRINBLAT and IRINA VOLKOVA SPRING 2007 Risks and Barriers for Norwegian Companies on the Russian Oil-and-Gas market Abstract Abstract During the last years Russia has changed its status from the dependent and conformable oil- and-gas supplier towards the major world energy player. This has happened due to its impressive reserve base, exploration potential and its preferable geographic position. Because of the positive trends in Russian economy Norwegian businessmen seem to be changing their attitude toward Russia. The intensity of cooperation in the energy sphere between these countries has increased recently. The purpose of the present research is to describe and analyze the risks and barriers that Norwegian companies face on the Russian oil-and-gas market. In so doing, it tends to contribute to a better and deeper understanding of the current Russian - Norwegian relations in oil-and-gas sector. This research is based on six in-depth interviews with Russian and Norwegian experts who represent different types of energy related businesses: consulting firms, newspaper, engineering firms and educational institutions. A combination of these perspectives provides a better understanding of the research problem and a deeper insight into possibilities of Russian-Norwegian cooperation. The background information on both Russia and Norway is important to establish the context and the culture of two countries, and Hofstede`s framework is expected to help us to get a clearer picture. Further on, this research aims to determine and describe in detail six main groups of risks and barriers (socio - cultural, political, legislative, technical, economic and environmental) for Norwegian companies and organizations based on the primary and secondary data. -

It is in the Board of Director’s opinion that use of pro-forma numbers for 2017 is a representative way of showing Point Resources’ underlying performance for 2017. The Consolidated Financial Statements prepared according to IFRS are based on the completion date 1 November 2017, and numbers for 2017 in this section may therefore differ from the Consolidated Financial Statements. All production, reserve and resource data in this annual report are net to Point Resources AS.

Royal Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries
ROYAL NORWEGIAN MINISTRY OF TRADE, INDUSTRY AND FISHERIES EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA)/EFTAs Overvåkningsorgan Werner Miguel Kühn Rue Belliard 35 B-1040 BRUSSEL Y our ref Our ref Date 14/6869-9 01.06.15 Observations from the Norwegian Government on the content of ESA’s letter of 17 February 2015 1. INTRODUCTION Reference is made to the letter from EFTAs Surveillance Authority (“ESA”) of 17 February 2015. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries has cooperated with the Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for the legislation on access to information and with Posten Norway AS (“Posten”) answering the letter. The Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries notices that the principle conclusions drawn by ESA on the Norwegian legislation on access to information in the letter seem to come from the perception from ESAs side that there is a legislative conflict between the public procurement rules and the Norwegian Freedom of Information Act. In ESA’s opinion this conflict has the effect of preventing participants in a procurement procedure from being informed of the reasons for their exclusion in a pre-selection procedure. Thus, our starting point for answering this letter has been to carefully assess and explain the reasoning behind the material scope of the Freedom of Information Act, and how and why Posten falls outside the scope. Thereafter, we will explain how the obligation of a contracting entity to provide reasons has been implemented in Norway and in which manner candidates participating in a pre- Postal address Office address Telephone* <engelsk navn> Our officer PO Box 8090 Dep Akersgata 59 +47 22 24 90 90 Margrét Gunnarsdóttir 0032 Oslo Vat no. -
