Norway contributes to reconstruction and further reforms in Georgia
Norge bidrar til gjenoppbygging og videre reformer i Georgia
On 22 October, the European Commission and the World Bank are holding a donor conference for Georgia in Brussels.
22. oktober arrangerer Europa-kommisjonen og Verdensbanken giverkonferanse for Georgia i Brussel.
The purpose of the conference is to raise support for reconstruction and further development in Georgia following the conflict in August this year.
Formålet er å støtte gjenoppbygging og videre utvikling i Georgia etter konflikten i august i år.
Sixty-five countries have been invited to take part.
65 land er invitert til å delta.
The Norwegian delegation will be led by Political Director Vegard Ellefsen.
Den norske delegasjonen ledes av politisk direktør Vegard Ellefsen.
“Humanitarian assistance for internally displaced persons will continue to be a key area for Norwegian efforts.
– Humanitær bistand rettet mot internt fordrevne vil fortsatt være et hovedområde for norsk innsats.
In addition, Norway will, through the Norwegian Refugee Council, help to clear unexploded ordnance that has been left behind after the conflict in August,” said Mr Støre.
I tillegg vil Norge gjennom Norsk Folkehjelp bidra til rydding av udetonerte eksplosiver etter krigshandlingene i august, sier utenriksministeren.
Norway will also help to promote good governance, primarily through justice sector reform, which will involve advisory services from Norwegian legal experts from the Crisis Response Pool.
Norge vil også bidra til fremme av godt styresett, i første rekke til reform av justissektoren gjennom rådgivning av norske juridiske eksperter fra den såkalte Styrkebrønnen.
A third priority area for cooperation is energy, with particular focus on the development of Georgia’s significant hydropower resources.
Et tredje prioritert samarbeidsområde er energi med fokus på utvikling av Georgias betydelige vannkraftressurser.
At the application deadline on September 1st , a total of 39 companies had submitted applications for new acreage in the best known areas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) in this year's licensing round in mature areas ( APA 2017).
Ved søknadsfristens utløp 1. september hadde t il sammen 39 selskaper levert søknader om nytt areal i de best kjente leteområdene på norsk kontinentalsokkel i årets konsesjonsrunde i modne leteområder (TFO 2017).
The number of applications received is more than 50 per cent higher than in last year's APA-round, and approximately 20 per cent higher than the previous record number of applications received in APA 2014.
Antallet søknader mottatt i år er over 50 prosent høyere enn i fjor (TFO 2016), og rundt 20 prosent høyere enn tidligere rekord i antallet søknader som ble levert i TFO 2014.
- Further exploration activity is vital to future value creation and employment on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
- Videre leteaktivitet på norsk sokkel er avgjørende for framtidig verdiskaping og sysselsetting.
This in turn is important with reference to financing the welfare state.
Dette er igjen viktig for finansieringen av velferdssamfunnet.
Therefore, I am very happy that such a diverse group of companies has delivered a record number of applications for new exploration acreage, says Norwegian Minister of Petroleum and Energy Terje Søviknes (The Progress Party).
Det er derfor svært gledelig at et stort mangfold av selskaper har levert inn et rekordstort antall søknader om nytt leteareal, sier olje- og energiminister Terje Søviknes (FrP).
Applications has been received from large international companies, from the established mid-size companies and from smaller exploration companies.
Det er levert søknader fra store internasjonale oljeselskap, fra de mellomstore, etablerte selskapene og fra de mindre leteselskapene.
A number of newly established companies with no prior record on the NCS also applied for acreage in this year's APA-round.
Det er også et antall nyetablerte selskap som har søkt for første gang i årets TFO-runde.
The diversity of companies applying is in itself important in order to achieve the best way to explore all the different opportunities for value-creation, and thus, good resource management.
Det store mangfoldet blant selskapene som søker er viktig for å få utnyttet alle mulighetene til verdiskaping og dermed for vår ressursforvaltning.
The APA-area was significantly enlarged in both the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea during the preparation for this year's licensing round.
Det forhåndsdefinerte området ble betydelig utvidet både i Norskehavet og Barentshavet i forbindelse med denne konsesjonsrunden.
These are interesting applications covering both inside the recent expansion and in the previously announced APA-areas.
Det er kommet inn interessante søknader både i det utvidede området og i øvrige deler av TFO-området.
- The record high interest confirms that the oil companies see opportunities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
- De mange søknadene viser at oljeselskapene ser muligheter på norsk sokkel framover.
This shows that the Government's petroleum policy has the desired effect, which is vital to employment and to our revenue-stream from Norway's most important industry in the decades to come.
Det bekrefter at regjeringens oljepolitikk fungerer, noe som er avgjørende for sysselsettingen og våre inntekter fra Norges viktigste næring i tiårene framover.
Stable framework conditions are an important part of this picture, Minister Terje Søviknes continues.
Stabile rammebetingelser er en viktig del av dette bildet, fortsetter olje- og energiminister Terje Søviknes (FrP).
Awards in Predefined Areas (APA) is the annual licensing round for the best know areas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Tildeling i forhåndsdefinerte områder (TFO) er den årlige konsesjonsrunden for de best kjente leteområdene på norsk sokkel.
The purpose of the APA-scheme is to stimulate timely, rapid and effective exploration of the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Hensikten med TFO-ordningen er å stimulere til tidsriktig, rask og effektiv utforskning av norsk sokkel.
The scheme contributes to good resource management by facilitating profitable development also from smaller discoveries.
Ordningen bidrar til god ressursforvaltning ved å legge til rette for lønnsom utbygging også av mindre funn.
The APA-area is expanded each year as the geological knowledge in areas on the NCS increases.
TFO-området utvides etter hvert som den geologiske kunnskapen i områder på norsk sokkel økes.
More information can be found under APA 2017.
Mer informasjon ligger under TFO 2017.

Not since the APA-scheme was established in 2003 has The Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy received as many applications as it did in this year's APA-round (Awards in Predefined Areas).
Olje- og energidepartementet har ikke siden TFO-ordningen ble innført i 2003 mottatt så mange søknader fra oljeselskapene i en TFO-runde (tildeling i forhåndsdefinerte områder).
Record high investments in poor countries
Rekordhøye investeringer i fattige land
Gulbrandsen commented: “It’s good that large investments are being made, also in Africa.
- Det er bra at det er store investeringer, også i Afrika.
There is a huge need for financing in many poor countries, and Norway is working actively to engage the business sector in development cooperation.
I mange fattige land er det et enormt finansieringsbehov, og Norge arbeider aktivt for å få næringslivet involvert i utviklingssamarbeidet.

The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has received proposals from 37 companies regarding blocks which the companies wish to see included in the 22nd licensing round.
Olje- og energidepartementet har mottatt forslag fra 37 selskaper om blokker som selskapene ønsker inkludert i 22. konsesjonsrunde.
A total of 228 blocks and partial blocks have been nominated in the 22nd licensing round, 107 of which were nominated by two or more companies.
Totalt 228 blokker eller deler av blokker er nominert i 22. konsesjonsrunde, hvorav 107 blokker er nominert av to eller flere selskaper.
Some 181 blocks in the Barents Sea have been nominated, the highest-ever number.
I Barentshavet er det nominert 181 blokker, det høyeste antall noensinne.
- In this round of nominations, particular interest has been shown in our northernmost sea areas, confirming that the Barents Sea is an exciting and internationally attractive petroleum province.
- I denne nominasjonen har det vært særlig interesse for vårt nordligste havområde, noe som stadfester Barentshavet som en spennende og internasjonalt attraktiv petroleumsprovins.
This represents major opportunities for the entire region.
Dette representerer store muligheter for hele landsdelen.
Exploration in all of the areas which have been opened up is also very important for ensuring further activity, employment and ripple effects throughout Norway, says Minister of Petroleum and Energy Ola Borten Moe.
Leting i alle åpnede områder er også svært viktig for å oppnå videre aktivitet, sysselsetting og ringvirkninger i hele Norge, sier olje- og energiminister Ola Borten Moe.
The period leading up to the announcement of blocks will be used to draw up a list of blocks which may potentially be included in the announcement.
Tiden fram mot utlysning vil bli brukt til å utarbeide et forslag om blokker til utlysning.
The government will then undertake a holistic evaluation before deciding which blocks will be included in the announcement.
Hvilke blokker som til slutt utlyses avgjøres av Regjeringen ut i fra en helhetsvurdering.
The companies were invited to nominate blocks on 2 November 2011, with a submission deadline of 11 January 2012.
Selskapene ble invitert til å nominere blokker 2. november 2011, med frist 11. januar 2012.
In line with the practice adopted in recent rounds, the companies were encouraged to limit the number of nominated blocks to 15.
I likhet med praksis de senere rundene, ble selskapene oppfordret til å begrense antallet blokker til 15.
This was done to ensure a focus on the blocks which the companies consider to be most interesting.
Dette er gjort for å sikre et fokus på de blokkene som selskapene anser for å være mest interessante.
All public interest bodies were invited to submit their comments in connection with the nomination process.
Alle samfunnsinteresser ble invitert til å komme med sine uttalelser i forbindelse med nominasjonsprosessen.
The intention is to announce the 22nd licensing round before the summer, while the award of new production licences is planned for the spring of 2013.
Det tas sikte på å utlyse 22. konsesjonsrunde før sommeren, og tildeling av nye utvinningstillatelser er planlagt våren 2013.
