Norwegian Continental Shelf no. 2 - 2009

17.11.2009
No.2-2009
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate withheld its improved oil recovery (IOR) prize for 2008. This issue reports on the extraordinary commitment required to get more resources out of a field – and to win this award.

One of the pioneers of the Norwegian oil adventure is Farouk Al-Kasim, the NPD’s former director for resource management. He calls in an interview for better rewards to go to those who take higher risks.

Many people are awaiting the results of a research project into the effect of seismic shooting on fish. We took a trip out to sea with the scientists collecting their data this summer.

And we carry an article which proves that the Utsira formation was not involved in a leak of oily water from an injection well on the Tordis field.
