Oil Transport from the Russian part of the
Barents Region
|
|
Summary
|
In the year of
2002 the amounts of oil transportation along the Norwegian
coastline from the North-West of Russia increased considerably. It
could be accounted for by the general increase of oil production in
Russia and by a growing influx of oil from the Eastern regions to
transshipping terminals in the White and Barents seas. The previous
sea transit volume forecasts made by the Norwegian Coast Guards in
cooperation with the Russian state institutions were based on the
prospects of oil production and oil extraction infrastructure
development in the Russian part of the Barents Euro-Arctic Region1.
That is why the Norwegian authorities were surprised by the
tremendous growth of oil transportation, which exceeded the
expected transportation flows and oil production volume estimates
for the Russian part of the Barents region. (more in tthe
