• Security of supply for Europe • Gas must replace coal
• Norwegian gas to replace Russian gas
• Oil is the econimic driver (as gas infrastructure is missing)
• Norways best geoplitical cards • Competence and technology
• Infrastructure and capacity
• Sustainable development
• Environmental awareness
• Exercise of sovereignty • Through political frames and requirements
• Through active utilization, not by conservation (fredning)
Barents Sea - geopolitical importance

• Acknowledge the difference: • Coastal areas - «Winterization»
• Arctic areas require new solutions «Arktisk tilrettelegging»
• What is so special about the Arctic ? • Arctic storms og polar lows
• Long lasting icing periods
• Long lasting heavy snow fall (tråg)
• Ice bergs and «growlers»
• Total darkness for three months (Bear Island)
• Thick fog for long periods during summer
• Enormous distances
• Almost non existing communications

Emergency response and communications
Communications
• Today, poor satellite coverage when passing 72°N
and for practical purposes, non-existing from 75°N
• Real time is a prerequisite for communications,
accurate navigation, effective SAR (safety and
rescue) operations and accurate drilling

• Distinguish between exploration and operation • Drilling when possible during summer (temporary)
• Production facilities are «stuck» with arctic conditions
• «Ice Management» • Continous surveillance of ice bergs and ice front(moving)
• Ice breakers, handling of ice bergs
• Maritime safety • Technology, operations and environmental risk
• Polar Code, Norsok N-003 and EER
• Economy will depend on • Regularity and risk of production stop
Operational challenges in the Arctic

• High Capex og Opex will require • A large resource base
• «Coordinated area development» (NPD)
• Disrupted exploration drilling • Icing/ice crowlers/sea ice
• Offshore offloading • Low regularity due to climate conditions
• The captain on board decides the regularity
• Loss of production (low regularity) and cost for extra escorting vessels may exceed cost of routing the well stream to shore for processing
Economical challenges in the Arctic

• Crew rotation and crew change • Weather restrictions may impose serious delays
• Helicopter versus maritime vessels ?
• Evacuation and rescue • New thinking, new life boat concepts
• New standards for rescue vessels
Operations and technology
• Offshore offloading in periods with icing
• Sea ice; collision risk. No sight and non sufficient radar technology
• Accident handling, risk of oil releases to sea. SAR.

• Large, robust field centres • Junction point for subsea process plants and future tie-backs
• Prepared for future discoveries/field developments (Coordinated Area Development)
• Robust for modifications and extentions
• Centre for energy supply, emergency preparedness
• All oil and gas to shore. Offshore loading is risky and costly
• Norway has to prepare for the Barents Sea North • Concrete again ? GBS is robust
• The Russians are exploring their part

Det akkumulerte bildet gir oss store
utfordringer; mht. produksjon og eksport
År 2020 År 2030
Norges totale gasseksport
ca. 100 bcm/år

I tillegg, store geopolitiske utfordringer i
Barentshavet
• Barentshavet/Polhavet blir i økende grad en internasjonal interesse-
og spenningsarena. Norges interesser må ivaretas gjennom økt
industriell aktivitet og tilstedeværelse. Norge må gjøre seg relevant
for de store aktørene

Prinsippskisse; gass fra Barentshavet
- for eksport i rør med muligheter for industriell bruk
Evt. industriell bruk av gass ved
avgreininger fra eksportrøret:
- mineralforedling
- annen industriell bruk
Mulig lokalisering av
nye prosessanlegg
