Oil production in Norway 2000-2023

Oil production in Norway saw a noticeable decline between 2001 to 2013, dropping from 3.4 million barrels per day to 1.8 million. Since then, production experienced a slight recovery and amounted to around two million barrels by 2023. In the first quarter of 2019, Norway made five oil and gas discoveries in its territories. Global contextWhilst Norway is not one of the biggest oil producing countries in the world, meeting around two percent of the global oil demand, it is still an important exporter. In fact, most of the oil that is produced on the Norwegian shelf is exported and represents a significant source of the country’s revenue. In 2019, 29 billion U.S. dollars’ worth of crude oil was exported. In 2018, approximately 61.1 million metric tons of crude oil were exported from Norway via pipelines and ships. Depleting North Sea reserves  As of 2020, Norway’s oil reserves amounted to one billion metric tons, a decline of 0.3 billion metric tons when compared to the turn of the century. The North Sea is Norway’s most explored territory, with approximately 65 fields. However, potentially 50 percent of Norway’s undiscovered resources are located in the Barents Sea.

挪威的石油产量在2001年至2013年期间经历了显著的下降，日均产量从340万桶降至180万桶。此后，产量略有回升，截至2023年，产量约为200万桶。2019年第一季度，挪威在其领土上发现了五处油气田。在全球范围内，尽管挪威并非全球最大的石油生产国之一，仅满足全球石油需求的约2%，但该国仍是一个重要的出口国。事实上，挪威大陆架上生产的石油大部分出口，并构成了国家收入的重要来源。2019年，挪威出口了价值290亿美元的原油。2018年，通过管道和船只，挪威出口了约6110万吨原油。北海储量的枯竭截至2020年，挪威的石油储备达到10亿吨，与世纪初相比减少了30亿吨。北海是挪威最被勘探的领土，拥有大约65个油田。然而，挪威未发现资源中可能高达50%的资源位于巴伦支海。
