New market study, "Norway Oil & Gas Report Q3 2016", has been published

New field developments and improved recovery will stabilise oil production over the 201 6 -2019 period . Weaker oil prices will curtail investment, al though the long-term impact will be masked by the vast Johan Sverdrup project starting in 2019 . Gas production will improve as lower prices support European demand.

Latest Updates And Key Forecasts

Crude, condensate and other liquids production increased 2.4% y-o-y in 2015, reaching 1.938mn b/d.

In 2016, the Goliat field (Q1) and the Flyndre development (H2) will support production declines.

Non-exploration investment in the Norwegian continental shelf fell around 17% in 2015 and is due to drop again in 2016 and 2017.

Subsea compressors installed at the Gullfaks and Asgard fields in September and October 2015 will also support our outlook for oil production growth in 2016.

Gas production increased 7.7% y-o-y in 2015, reaching 117.4bcm.

Total announced it will delay the Martin Linge project to 2018, while the final investment decision on Statoil's Snorre 2040 project has also been delayed to Q416.
