On Edge

Norwegian title: På kanten

Maintaining the momentum in Norway’s most important industry is a major objective for the Norwegian state, and the pressure for the government to increase allocations of new exploration regions towards the ice edge in the north is greater than it has been for a long time. But the conflict surrounding the oil industry in the Barents Sea has been going on for a long time. From Stoltenberg’s red-green administration to the Solberg government that followed it, the oil industry has been allocated a steady stream of exploration blocks in the Barents Sea.
