Norway announces continued Arctic oil and gas drilling in Barents Sea despite EU environmental policy
Norway's Energy Minister Terje Aasland announced Norway will continue developing oil and gas resources in the Barents Sea despite EU support for a ban on new Arctic drilling. The EU is reviewing its Arctic drilling ban policy due to energy security concerns following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Norway supplies approximately 30 percent of EU and UK natural gas demand.
