Statoil named "explorer of the year"

Several awards were given out last night.

The oil industry of Norway celebrated itself last night at Wallmann's Salonger in Oslo during Rystad Energy’s "Gullkronen 2012".

The event is dedicated to acknowledge high performances and achievements made by companies involved in the oil and gas business during the previous year.

“The latest discovery updates show that Norway was the top exploration nation globally in 2011, both in terms of resources and value, and before nations like Mozambique, Azerbaijan and Brazil,” said Managing Director Jarand Rystad. 

Rystad also emphasized that “the feast in Norway was not only on the exploration side but also in terms of cash-flow to companies. 2011 was the top year with NOK 93 billion delivered. “

During the award ceremony, the five E&P awards were given out as follows:

 Newcomer of the Year: Core Energy

 Explorer of the Year: Statoil

 Business Developer of the Year: Faroe Petroleum & Petoro
