Abstract
Norway forms the mountainous margin of Scandinavia. The coastline is cut by deep fjords flanked by a string of offshore islands, which shelter the inland waters. To the southeast, a deep inlet from the Skagarrak leads to Oslo, the capital. Norway also exercises jurisdiction of the Arctic islands of Svalbard (Spitzbergen) and Jan Mayen. The country measures some 1,700 km in length, reaching far into the Arctic Circle: from southern Norway to its North Cape is as far as it is to Rome. It should be noted that oil and gas within the Polar Region and in water deeper than 500 m do not qualify as Regular Conventional by definition and are excluded from this assessment, being considered in Chap. 12. The country with 4.9 million inhabitants is sparsely populated.
