After a turbulent year in energy markets in 2022, the war of aggression against Ukraine and the disruption of piped natural gas supplies to Europe continued in 2023. Imports of Natural Gas from Russia to the EU have been significantly reduced. Uncertainties prevails regarding the remaining piped Russian gas volumes through Ukraine. The reduction in piped natural gas has mainly been compensated for by a sharp increase in imports of LNG, together with reduced industrial European natural gas demand and relatively mild weather also during the 2023/24 winter season. Security of supply and affordable energy for all is now strongly on the agenda, together with energy transition. There seems to be an emerging understanding that the energy transition will take decades, will be complex regarding the economic, scientific social and political realities, and will have to be fair and just – within countries and between countries.

High oil and gas prices seem to have had an impact on the strategies of oil and gas companies, with a more nuanced approach to continue to find, develop and produce hydrocarbons as well as the strength of and pathway to transition towards renewable energies. Will the NCS be a safe haven in troubled times? Norway has among the highest development activities globally with stable fiscal terms but it has also, similarly to many other countries, experienced climate change litigation cases. What are the consequences?
