Norwegian Shelf Oil (nd Gas Expectations tise 12 Percent

According to new estimates from he Norwegian Petroleum Director- ,te, resources on the Norwegian !helf have increased 12 percent and

Norway will remain one of the larg- ist oil producers in the world for at east another 45 years.

New calculations show that the

Norwegian sector of the Continen- ,al Shelf contains extractable re- iources corresponding to about 10 rillion tons of oil equivalents (toe).

In 1992, the total petroleum pro- luction of the Norwegian Shelf was ibout 132.9 million toe. Of this, the )il production was approximately 103.9 million toe, the sale of gas 25.8 nillion toe, and the production of

LNG three million toe.

These numbers signify a large production increase over the previ- ous year, when total production was 118.8 million toe.
