Norwegian government attacked over decision to reopen North Sea gasfields
The Norwegian Labour government has approved reopening three North Sea gasfields closed since 1998 (Albuskjell, Vest Ekofisk, Tommeliten Gamma) by 2028, plus opening 70 new areas across the North Sea, Barents Sea, and Norwegian Sea for oil and gas exploration. The decision, framed as supporting European energy security amid Middle East conflict-related supply disruptions and high energy prices, has drawn fierce criticism from environmental groups, left-leaning parties, and contradicts guidance from Norway's national environment agency.
