Speeding Up the Report

Einar Steensnæs is committed to please the oil companies in future licensing rounds, after the disappointing participation in the 17the licensing round and the high number of dry wells drilled during 2002. Steensnæs is therefore trying to find ways to sweeten the prospect of continued exploration on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). Finishing the report on the consequences of exploration and production in the Lofoten and Barents region is now high on the agenda.
