Oil and gas fields in nOrway industrial heritage plan

This book is a work of reference which provides an easily understandable

survey of all the areas, fields and installations on the Norwegian continental

shelf. It also describes developments in these waters since the 1960s,

including why Norway was able to become an oil nation, the role of

government and the rapid technological progress made.

In addition, the book serves as an industrial heritage plan for the oil

and gas industry. This provides the basis for prioritising offshore installations

worth designating as national monuments and which should be documented.

The book will help to raise awareness of the oil industry as industrial heritage

and the management of these assets.
