State Revenues

Today Norway is a highly developed country with a predominantly service sector in the economic structure. However, oil continues to play a major role in the life of the state and society as one third of state revenues is based on oil resources, while export of raw materials totals more than a half of the country's overall export. However, it is not quite possible to cover the entire oil sector in Norway within the scope of one piece of work due to the differences in the characteristics of each of the three sources of the country's oil. In this context, the resources of the Norwegian and Barents Seas are associated with the problems of the Arctic and the Arctic law. At the same time, the North Sea is the most regulated area, besides it is the so called "homeland" of the oil production in Norway. Thus, this paper analyzes the role of the North Sea oil in the economy of Norway, which is the basis of its economic prosperity. Due to its oil revenues, Norway was once able to build a welfare state. Also the unique system of accumulation of oil revenues, which is reflected in the functioning of the Government Pension Fund of Norway, is a relevant issue as well. The article deals with the emergence of the oil industry in the country from a historical perspective, and analyzes its current state, including a detailed analysis of the existing fields and pipelines. Furthermore, the authors propose the estimation of state revenues from the oil production in the North Sea.

ABSTRACT Oil production in the North Sea and some other potentially important areas is much more difficult than offshore drilling was in the past. It is assumed that the difficulties are properly compensated so that blowout probability is not increased. The very much higher productivity of the wells, the expected longer duration of a blowout and the greater difficulties of surface containment obviously increase the probable oil spill volume. Exactly how much it is increased statistically is not known. A factor of 100 is suggested. For this reason, such areas need a much better oil spill defense than used in the past in other areas. The author is engaged in a feasibility study on underwater collection for control of underwater blowouts. The proposed equipment consists of a heavy submersible rig which can place a collection bell over the blowout orifice: the petroleum is then ducted from the bell to a surface vessel where the gas is burned and the oil collected or burned.

In this paper experience with some of the first gas turbines equipped with dry low NOx combustors installed in the North Sea is presented. The case history covers LM2500 and LM6000 gas turbines. The paper outlines further some of the technical challenges for future applications in conformance with recent revisions of power plant air emission guidelines.

Oil Rig

Since oil was found under the North Sea in the mid 1960's, oil production now plays an important part in Norwegian economy. A major oil field isEkofisk, between Norway and Britain (Figure 1). TheAlexander Kielland, one of the rigs atEkofisk, was a mobile platform of the pentagon type, floating on 5 columns, 150 nautical miles of f the Norwegian coast. It was developed and built as a drilling rig, but was used as an accommodation platform since delivery in July 1976. OnMarch27,1980, theAlexander Kiellandrig lay at anchor on theEkofisk field, close to the production platform EDDA.
