Norway is holding talks with Russia on rules for seismic studies of oil and gas fields on each side of their maritime border in the Arctic Barents Sea.
Work on the regulation of seismic studies in the area, where Norway and Russia struck a deal in 2010 to end a decades-long border dispute, has been going on for years and is focusing on hydrocarbon resources that could span across the frontier, Norway’s Petroleum and Energy Minister Tord Lien said on Thursday.
