Oil production in Norway saw a noticeable decline between 2001 to 2013, dropping from *** million barrels per day to *** million. Since then, production has maintained stable, and amounted to 1.83 million barrels per day in 2024. In the first quarter of 2019, Norway made **** oil and gas discoveries in its territories. Global context Whilst Norway is not one of the biggest oil producing countries in the world, meeting around *** percent of the global oil demand, it is still an important exporter. In fact, most of the oil that is produced on the Norwegian shelf is exported and represents a significant source of the country’s revenue. In 2019, ** billion U.S. dollars’ worth of crude oil was exported. In 2024, approximately **** million metric tons of crude oil were exported from Norway via pipelines and ships. Depleting North Sea reserves As of 2020, Norway’s oil reserves amounted to *** billion metric tons, a decline of *** billion metric tons when compared to the turn of the century. The North Sea is Norway’s most explored territory, with approximately ** fields. However, potentially ** percent of Norway’s undiscovered resources are located in the Barents Sea.

UK oil and natural gas production is on long-term decline as old oil and gas fields in the North Sea mature and near the end of their life cycle. Oil and gas extracting companies reaped the rewards of an upsurge in global prices through 2022-23, leading to sharp revenue growth. However, this quickly turned around in 2023-24, with most major companies’ revenue nosediving along with oil prices as oil and gas from America flooded the market, slightly outpacing demand. Still, revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 5.1% over the five years through 2025-26 to £23 billion, owing primarily to the significant price hikes of 2021-22 and 2022-23. This includes a forecast dip of 4.3% in 2025-26, owing to oil and gas prices edging down. Profit is also slated to fall over the year. Global oil and gas prices greatly affect the industry's performance, with the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) putting supply cuts in place and global tensions resulting in price peaks and troughs. In October 2022, OPEC instituted a supply cut of two million barrels of crude oil per day, driving Brent Crude Oil prices up to US$110 (£87.80) per barrel, which was extended until March 2025. At the same time, the sanctions on Russian oil and gas imports because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict add further impetus to prices. The EU has banned imports of Russian-made oil and gas, providing opportunities for UK exporters. Crude oil prices remain high, but significant oil production from non-OPEC countries has made oil prices plummet since July 2024. Despite mounting tensions in the Middle East having the potential to cut oil supply from the region, the ongoing political tensions have yet to significantly impact global prices, with prices falling by 15.8% in the year to August 2025. Oil and gas prices are likely to continue inching downwards in the coming years. The UK government has implemented policies to create a more favourable environment for extractors in the North Sea to improve UK energy security. However, the depletion of natural resources, the high cost of extraction, low gas and oil prices and the global energy transition will threaten the industry's long-term viability. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 2% over the five years through 2030-31 to £25.4 billion, supported by two new major oil and gas fields, Jackdaw and Rosebank.

The Crude Petroleum Extraction industry in Europe can be volatile. Its performance largely hinges on global oil demand and prices, which in turn are impacted by geopolitical conditions and global economic activity. Most of Europe relies on imports for its crude oil and refined fuels, often from geopolitically unstable regions. Only Russia can count itself among the world’s largest oil producers, while Norway and the UK are the main beneficiaries of oil reserves in the North Sea. The industry’s performance is heavily weighted towards oil production activities in these countries, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine spurring a shift in Europe’s oil landscape. Revenue is forecast to decline at a compound annual rate of 5.6% to €236.1 billion over the five years through 2024. Revenue dropped during the pandemic, as tumbling oil prices were compounded by reduced global demand for oil. This was followed by a strong recovery in the following years, as a post-pandemic rebound in demand for oil led to a surge in prices. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to a further spike in prices in the following year, bolstering returns on investment. The lure of sky-high margins purred increased exploration activity in 2022, while Russia was able to redirect most of its oil exports to China and India in response to Western sanctions. Europe’s oil landscape continues to shift as nations seek to wean themselves off of Russian fossil fuels, with Norway looking like the main beneficiary of the change in dynamics. Revenue is forecast to drop by 21.7% in 2024. Over the five years through 2029, revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 5.4% to reach €306.7 billion. As geopolitical tensions persist, the potential for significant fluctuation in prices remains. However, as Europe continues to wean itself off Russian fossil fuels, there's an expectation of easing oil prices. By 2027, the EU aims to be completely free from Russian fossil fuels – a move that would open up opportunities for other oil producing nations, while placing pressure on Russia to continue to find alternative buyers of its oil. Ambitious decarbonisation targets threaten to contribute to a downward trend in oil consumption, weighing on long-term growth prospects.
