NOK 6 million to petroleum technology assessment project for the Arctic

“If we are to be able to develop the Barents Sea as a new energy province, we must have the necessary technology to operate in vulnerable Arctic areas. Cooperation between public and private actors from Norway and Russia is essential if we are to succeed in developing this technology,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

The Ministry has announced funding to a Norwegian–Russian project.
