Forty years ago, the first issue of Scandinavian Oil-Gas Magazine was published. The early 70s were an exciting time on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Ekofisk had begun production in mid 1971, and in the decade that followed the magazine’s introduction, Ekofisk was joined by discoveries that would become synonymous with what has been called the “Norwegian oil adventure” – discoveries such as Statfjord, Oseberg, Gullfaks and Troll. In the year before our first issue was printed a new, state-owned oil company had also arrived on the scene – Statoil. [ In 1/2 2013 ]

A New Rig MarketFeb 21, 2013 As analysts at a hotel in Oslo in January 2013 were telling the rig-interested how soaring deepwater rig earnings could weaken, the CEO of Ocean Rig was declaring via his New York PR crew how deepwater day rates might be strengthening. Ocean Rig UDW Ltd. – fresh from the disappointment of cancelled Brazilian rig orders – had just found work offshore Ireland.

Clouding the earnings picture is a changed rig market. By William Stoichevski. [ In 1/2 2013 ]
