Beyond first oil: Norway's multi-billion barrel recovery opportunity
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Norway's recovery factors rank among the highest globally, with the country's largest fields pushing the limits of absolute recovery. Yet significant upside remains. Wood Mackenzie's Synoptic AI platform and expansive subsurface dataset quantify this opportunity. Improved recovery from existing fields could deliver up to 5 billion barrels of oil and over 500 bcm of gas. Higher recovery will not drive Norwegian output to new highs but will extend production plateaus and slow decline rates, continuing a trend observed over previous years. The analysis identifies pathways to achieve higher recovery and examines proven success cases across Norway.
