ONS 2004 – The Story’s the Same, But the Faces are Changing

Offshore Northern Seas in Stavanger this August will see for the first time a targeted marketing effort to promote entry into the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), as the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) campaign to promote the Norwegian sector to new entrant E&P firms gathers pace. Building on the success of the UK Department of Trade and Industry’s efforts to attract new players to the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), the Norwegian authorities are progressing a similar, targeted approach to attract North American firms that have recently entered the UK, such CNR, EnCana, Apache, and Petrocanada.
