- New agreement creates expectations
Statoil believes the agreement may open for the exploration for oil and gas in new areas. - We know that finds have been made both on the Russian and Norwegian side of the delimination line. This creates expectations, says Statoil information director Ola Morten Aanestad. However, he underlines that these are unsheltered waters, and a difficult region in which to carry out oil and gas production. (NRK)
