Abstract
The oil and gas business is highly significant for the Norwegian economy, and creates big spin-offs nationwide. Just under 150 000 people are directly employed in the petroleum sector. KonKraft report 7 deals with the Norwegian gas industry, activities related to gas exports, operations at the land-based plants and the use of gas in Norway. This report also identifies development opportunities as gas operations move north up the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). In addition, it discusses terms and frame conditions for expanding the use of gas for industrial purposes in Norway. And a more detailed description is provided of operations and spin-offs which could be generated by greater activity in the far north. The economic effects of petroleum activities concern far more than the human resources mobilised in direct relation to each field development. Another form of direct spin-off is the operation of offshore installations with associated bases, transport services and logistics. StatoilHydro, for example, maintained a portfolio of 17 transport helicopters, four rescue machines and two charter helicopters at six different Norwegian bases in 2007. Base operations not only play a key role in offshore operations but also lay the foundation for further industrial development - not least with

A case in point is the Bergen Base at Aagotnes, which also embraces an industrial site currently occupied by more than 100 companies with some 1 600 work years. The base receives almost 2 000 ship calls every year. Another example is Kristiansund Base (Vestbase), which serves a number of fields in the Norwegian Sea and provides some 750 jobs on its site. Roughly 50 people work at the Sandnessjoeen base, which is responsible for supplying the Norne field and had almost 390 ship calls in 2007. (Author)}
