 Norm prices form the basis for the taxation of the crude oil producers’ earnings on the Norwegian Shelf. When deciding the norm prices, the Petroleum Price Council shall according to the Petroleum Tax Act, take into account relevant factors such as price and sales data from the companies and perform an assessment of the oil market.

1) The Norm Prices for the shipments from loading buoys have not been adjusted for freight costs in the permit licenses.

2) Gullfaks Blend includes Gullfaks A+B. Gullfaks C and Tordis. Adjustments for freight costs will be made for each field.

3) Statfjord includes Snorre. Adjustment for freight cost will be made for each field.

4) The Norm Price for Brent in August and September is put in brackets because Norm Price is not set for these two months.
