FOCUS – The Norwegian continental shelf – a vast energy reserve

How does oil and gas occur in nature and how can we extract it? Senior Biostratigrapher Robert Williams from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate shares his insight on these complicated aspects in a simple manner.

He also shows the enormous collection of drilling samples performed on the Norwegian Continetal Shelf, all stored in the basement of the NPD.

Through interviews, drawings, animations and film cuttings he and Torkel Thime from the Norwegian Oil and Gas Archives shed light on this complicated theme.
