Norway Commits to Stable Oil and Gas Supplies for Europe Amid Energy Transition Initiatives
Norwegian authorities emphasize the importance of stable oil and gas supplies to Europe, highlighting the Norwegian continental shelf as crucial for energy security. Investment conditions, exploration, and EU cooperation are deemed essential for sustaining production while pursuing offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture technologies. A gradual decline in production is expected by the 2030s without continued investment. Norway aims to maintain its role as a reliable energy supplier while addressing environmental impacts through emissions pricing and carbon capture strategies.

Norwegian officials assert that the country will continue to be a stable oil and gas supplier to Europe, with its continental shelf playing a key role in energy security. They stress the necessity of stable investment and close EU cooperation to support ongoing production while advancing offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture technologies.
Norway expects production to decline in the 2030s without further investment and exploration. The government has allocated areas for 2,500 megawatts of offshore wind and is committed to emissions reductions. Norway maintains a cooperative relationship with the EU, despite not being a member, and actively engages in energy transition initiatives.
