A new report entitled, "Oil Transport From the Russian Part of the
Barents Region, Status Per January 2007," by Alexei Bambulyak and Bjorn
Frantzen is now available online.
Report description:
Oil transportation along the coastline of northern Norway has become one
of the hottest topics discussed in the Barents Region in recent years.
It is also an important issue of today's political agenda and bilateral
discussions between Norway and Russia. The report is based on two
similar reports published in 2003 and 2005. The purpose of this new
edition is to provide the reader with new and additional information,
both at general and concrete levels, as the logistic schemes of oil
shipment through the Barents Sea are being constantly developed.
The new report presents the current status of the terminals and logistic
schemes for transportation of Russian oil through the Barents Sea. The
report describes the development prospects in the northern regions of
both Russia and Norway and gives an overview of the Barents export
channel for Russian oil and gas in the perspective of developing
hydrocarbon production and transportation systems in the North. The
authors pay attention to environmental safety of oil shipment and
Norwegian-Russian cooperation in oil pollution prevention, and provide
reflections and comments about oil transportation safety by pointing out
factors essential to achieve efficient oil spill protection inside the
Russian Barents and further along the Norwegian coast.
The present report is a joint project of the Norwegian Barents
Secretariat and Akvaplan-niva, with participation of Bioforsk Svanhovd.
