No drama from Norway

The 2023 National Budget in Norway was finally agreed upon today following several weeks of negotiations. The Labour Party in its minority coalition government conceded to the Socialist Left Party on postponing the 26th Norwegian licensing round for frontier exploration blocks to 2025. We highlight that most sales volumes for seismic companies on the NCS are related to the APA awards in mature areas, which have been unaffected during the negotiations. Accordingly, while we view this as a minor negative signal for the Norwegian oil and gas industry in general, the impact on our seismic coverage should be negligible.
