Offshore transportation of Norwegian gas to Europe: the case of the Barents Sea gas infrastructure
This study is concerned with Norway’s role in supplying gas to Europe through offshore pipelines. One reason for choosing this topic is the difference in available research between the number one supplier of gas to Europe, Russia, and the number two, Norway, where there is much less published resear...
