Abstract
The Norwegian oil and gas industry started in the North Sea and has so far primarily been studied in a national perspective. In recent years the emphasis has shifted northward with rising petroleum activity in the Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea. Drilling north of 62 latitude was a long time very controversial. The public debate is currently characterized by clear fronts, where the petroleum development in the north is said to cause either a blessing or damnation. In this book, we want to go behind the front lines and into the cross-country debate is about. We look at oil and gas industry's encounter with a new region and Northern Norway's meeting with a new type of business activity. The book is therefore about the opening of a new petroleum province, regional economic development, governance and the prospects for a key sector in the Norwegian economy. At the same time, it is about the shows and the controversies that are helping to shape the oil and gas operations. The purpose of this book is to shed light on the economic and political processes of change as a growing oil and gas operations in the north brings. What does it mean for
