22/04/2020 The new issue of the Norwegian Continental Shelf magazine is now available in a digital version with plenty of interesting reading. The articles in the magazine were written before the corona crisis.

Here are some of the stories you can read:

  • director general Ingrid Sølvberg’s outlook on future energy needs
  • outgoing director general Bente Nyland’s reflections after 12 years at the helm
  • why we talk with young people, not at them
  • analysing seabed minerals
