Draupne renamed Ivar Aasen
Draupne får namnet Ivar Aasen
Publisher Ministry of Petroleum and Energy
Utgjevar: Olje- og energidepartementet
The oil and gas discovery Draupne, located centrally in the North Sea, has today been renamed Ivar Aasen.
Olje- og gassfunnet Draupne i den midtre delen av Nordsjøen har i dag fått namnet Ivar Aasen.
The name was chosen following proposals from the operator and feedback from the advisory committee on names.
Namnet vert fastsett etter forslag frå operatøren og innspel frå den rådgjevande namnegruppa.
He was a poet and linguist, but first and foremost the man who formulated Nynorsk (New Norwegian, one of two official written forms of Norwegian), based on how Norwegians really spoke.
Han var diktar og språkforskar, men fyrst og fremst mannen som forma nynorsken tufta på folkeleg talemål.
The 200th birthday of Ivar Aasen in 2013 has inspired Norway’s Language Year 2013, a national celebration of linguistic diversity.
200-årsjubileet for Ivar Aasen i 2013 er grunnlaget for språkåret 2013 - ei nasjonal feiring av språkleg mangfald.
The decision by the Storting (the Norwegian parliament), in 1885 to place Danish-Norwegian (Bokmål) and Nynorsk on an equal footing gave Norway two official written forms of Norwegian.
Stortingsvedtaket i 1885 om å jamstille dansk-norsk og landsmål gav Noreg to offisielle skriftnormalar.
This step represented a radical innovation in 1885.
Ein praksis som representerte ei radikal nytenking i 1885.
Among the initiatives was the appointment ofan advisory committee on names, which currently comprises Karsten Alnæs (chair), Kristin Clemet, Per Egil Hegge and Marit Hauan.
Det vart mellom anna nedsett ei rådgjevande namnegruppe som består av Karsten Alnæs (leder), Kristin Clemet, Per Egil Hegge og Marit Hauan.
“The names of large, independent developments have a signal effect beyond the continental shelf.
- Namn på større sjølvstendige utbyggingar har ein signaleffekt utover sokkelen.
The Ivar Aasen discovery is located in the central part of the North Sea, around 200 kilometres west of Stavanger.
Ivar Aasen-funnet ligg i den midtre delen av Nordsjøen, om lag 200 kilometer vest for Stavanger.
The operator of the Ivar Aasen project is Det Norske, which has a stake of 35%.
Det Norske er operatør for Ivar Aasen-prosjektet med ein eigardel på 35 pst.
Other partners are Statoil (50%) and Bayerngas Norge (15%).
Andre rettshavarar er Statoil (50 pst.) og Bayerngas Norge (15 pst.).
The total exploitable reserves in the Ivar Aasen discovery have been estimated at 17.2 million Sm3 of oil and 3.1 billion Sm3 of gas.
Totale reservar det er mogleg å utvinne i Ivar Aasen-funnet er estimert til 17,2 millionar Sm3 olje og 3,1 milliardar Sm3 gass.
Submission of plan for development and operation (PDO) is planned for December 2012, and production is expected to begin in the autumn of 2016.
Innlevering av plan for utbygging og drift (PUD) er planlagd desember 2012, og planlagd produksjonsstart er hausten 2016.
