In the middle of the North Sea revival of Norway's oil

industry, the biggest in western Europe, is under way.

This is the Johan Sverdrup field, the biggest discovery

And one which contains 2.7bn barrels of oil and could earn

this Scandinavian country $100bn over the next 50 years.

Norway first discovered oil in December 1969.

And now 50 years later, one of the biggest oil

But it's about to produce its first oil at the same time

that there is an intense environmental debate about just

Could this be the last ever large field in the North Sea?

The four permanent interconnected platforms

And are expected to account for about a third

group Equinor chose to use clean hydro-electricity from land

rather than the usual dirtier gas turbines to power

The start of the Johan Sverdrup, the 5th of October,

the past 50 years and also the forward looking 50 years.

And Johan Sverdrup will represent a very important part

of the oil production on the Norwegian continental shelf

The value perspective is of course, creating NKr900bn

with a climate footprint of 0.67 kilos per produced

barrel, which if you compare to the global average of 18

kilos per barrel, it's pretty climate efficient I would say.

are due to stop producing in the coming years.

And combined with pressure from environmentalists,

The possibility of finding such a big field

as Johan Sverdrup is still there but you know the chances of it

is being a slimmer and slimmer as we move along.

I think for the NCS it's more about smaller resources.

We need to work really hard as an industry,

able to be competitive and extract also those, the smaller

reservoir or smaller findings that we might see out

Yohan Sverdrup is not only vital for Equinor and its partners,

it's become one of the world's richest countries through oil.

But 50 years on from the initial discovery

of black gold, the questions about how the industry will get

through its next five decades in Norway are growing ever louder.
