Norway Warns Oil and Gas Output Could Collapse After 2030

Norway is producing oil and gas faster than the industry is finding new resources, increasing the risk of a steep decline after 2030, according to a new report from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate. The warning comes despite strong current activity.

Norwegian oil production reached its highest level since 2009 last year, while petroleum investment in 2026 is estimated at approximately $25 billion. Much of today’s spending supports projects and discoveries made years ago.
