Norway Invites Bids for Offshore Blocks in 26th Licensing Round

Norway's Offshore Directorate has extended invitations to energy firms to nominate offshore blocks for inclusion in the nation's 26th oil and gas licensing round.

The deadline for submissions is scheduled for October 1, providing industry players a limited window to express interest.

This initiative follows the energy minister's announcement last month, marking the first occasion new drilling permits will be offered in unexplored frontier areas since 2021.
