Statistics about
Extraction and related services
The purpose of the statistics is to visualize economic activity on the Norwegian continental shelf, as well as extraction related support activities and services on land. The statistics provide figures such as the total value of production, value added, intermediate consumption and labor costs, and it provides important data source for the national accounts.

About the statistics
The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 4 October 2023.
Enterprise
In Standard for Industrial Classification (SN07) an enterprise is defined as an organisational unit comprising all economic activities engaged in by one and the same owner. Hence an enterprise is a legal entity covering one or more productive units.
Establishment
In SN07 an establishment is defined as a local kind of activity unit, which mainly is conducting activities within a special industry group.
Production value
Production value is defined as turn-over corrected for stock change of products and services. Purchase of merchandises is excluded, while own investment works are added.
06 Extraction of crude oil and natural gas
Produced amount * Price | |
- | Transport tariff#1 |
+ | Income from border fields |
+ | Own investment works |
= | Production value |
#1 The price on oil and gas being transported by pipelines includes the value of the transport. Since pipeline transport belongs to another industry, the transport tariff needs to be excluded by subtraction.
49.500: Transport via pipelines
The production value consists of transport tariffs in the Gassled system and other pipelines registered in the business register. Small pipelines being an integrated part of a field belongs to the extraction industry. As a preparation for analytical purposes, the tariffs are allocated back to the separate fields. For the Gassled tariffs this is proportionally according to the production volume of natural gas, condensate and NGL, while for the other pipelines the tariffs are reported by field.
09.10: Service activities incidental to oil and gas extraction
Turnover#1 | |
- | Stock change |
= | Production value |
#1 Turnover is defined as the enterprise's operational income, subtracted grants and profit from sale of fixed capital. Duties and taxes are included, except VAT.
Intermediate consumption
Intermediate consumption means the value of applied input goods and services, except depreciation. Until statistic year 2014, that was different methods have been used to calculate intermediate consumption in the extraction and pipeline industries. From 2015 use the same calculation method for extraction and pipeline. See also 'Coherence over time and space' for a description of methodology change between 2015 and 2014.
06 Extraction of crude oil and natural gas
| Sum of production costs (for 06 & 49.5): Sum of general operational costs, wage costs and operation costs. |
- | Transport and processing costs (only relevant for fields) |
- | Wage costs |
- | Insurance |
- | Income outside the joint venture#! |
= | Intermediate consumption |
#1 Internal deliveries which are to be excluded, cf. principles for national accounts
09.10: Extraction-related services
Sum operational costs | |
+ | Stock change of own produced means of production |
- | Stoc changes of merchandices (produced and under production) |
- | Wage costs |
- | Other reportable allowance |
- | Employer's contribution |
- | Other personel costs |
- | Depreciation of production means and immaterial assets |
- | Writedown of production means and immaterial assets |
- | Loss on exit of production means |
- | Loss on claims |
- | Commodity cost of sold merchandices |
= | Intermediate consumption |
Value added (market price)
Value added (market price) is defined as the production value less intermediate consumption (i.e. purchase of goods and services, except for re-sale, certain public taxes and grants, and stock changes). In practice, there are no such public taxes or grants in these industries, and no correction is made for stock changes.
Production value | |
- | Intermediate consumption |
= | Value added (market price) |
Value added at factor price
Value added at factor price equals value added (market price) CO2 tax (no other grants or taxes are relevant to these industries).
Employment
Employment is defined by the sum of owners and wage-earners working in the unit, and is an annual average. Persons being absent due to holiday, desease, labour conflict, etc. are included. Hired labour force from agency is excluded.
Wage costs
Wage costs encompasses wage, holiday allowances, royalties, employer's contributions, reportable pension costs and other personel costs.
Investments
Investment encompasses all accrued Investments. See also Investments in oil and gas, manufacturing, mining and electricity supply.
Prices
Crude oil: The norm prices from MPE are applied. The norm price shall correspond to the price that could have been obtained between independent parties in a free market, and is set based on an expert judgement of the market situation. The norm price is used by MPE and the Ministry of Finances as calculation basis for taxes and duties.
Natural gas, condensate and NGL: prices from 2012 based on the ETS, with exception in 2013 that the natural gas was based on OTO.
Border fields
Fields on the national border, that are partly Norwegian and partly British. The statistics cover the Norwegian part only.
Gross investment
Gross investment is considered acquisition of fixed capital (ie. duration more than one year) as buildings and plant, machinery, tools, equipment, furniture and vehicles (except for private use) - both new and used. Additionss are added while sales of used fixed assets are deducted. Gross investments entered with deduction of input VAT.
The industrial classification follows the Norwegian standard industrial classification (SN 2007), which builds on EU's industrial classification NACE Rev. 2 and UN's industrial classification ISIC Rev. 4.
