19/12/2024 On 9 January 2025 at 10:00 o'clock, you can hear the figures, trends and stories straight from Director general Torgeir Stordal.

The Shelf in 2024 is a summary of activity on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) over the past year: Exploration results, annual production figures and investment and production forecasts for the next five years.

The shelf has seen vigorous activity this year. Keywords include high investments, significant oil and gas production, increasing interest in storing CO2 on the NCS and ongoing efforts to learn more about seabed minerals. Future value creation for the Norwegian society will depend on continued investments in exploration and development on the shelf.

This launch will take place on sodir.no. Please visit our website to find the actual report along with background figures and the presentation.
