Norwegian oil production reached its highest level since 2009 last year, while petroleum investment in 2026 is estimated at approximately $25 billion. Much of today’s spending supports projects and discoveries made years ago. Maintaining production beyond this decade will require more exploration, faster development of existing discoveries and continued investment in mature fields and infrastructure.
