Sign InEnergy firms operating offshore Norway anticipate a decline in oil and gas investments in 2026, following a record high in the previous year. Total investments in 2025 reached an unprecedented $28.8 billion (273 billion Norwegian crowns), marking an 8.7% increase from 2024. This projected decrease is primarily attributed to the completion of numerous field developments, reducing the need for new capital expenditure. While this could signal slower future supply growth, potentially offering long-term support for oil prices, the immediate impact on global supply remains to be seen. Conversely, the reduction in a key economic sector's activity might exert downward pressure on the Norwegian economy and its currency (NOK).
