VOICED : Mammoth field fires up Norway's oil industry

The video discusses Equinor's oil production in Norway, highlighting its status as the highest producing oil field in Western Europe and plans to increase output. Despite global concerns over climate change, the demand for hydrocarbons remains. The field's operations are powered by clean hydropower, reducing its carbon footprint. Norway's oil wealth has contributed to its large sovereign wealth fund, but there is growing support for a green transition. Environmentalists argue that continued oil production contradicts Norway's climate leadership aspirations, despite the government's support for green initiatives.
