ConocoPhillips’ history in Norway began in the early 1960s when the company was awarded three production licenses. A successful discovery in 1969 led to the commissioning of Ekofisk, the first commercial oil field in the Norwegian North Sea.

ConocoPhillips has an expanded production and exploration position in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. In addition to the Greater Ekofisk Area, ConocoPhillips also has ownership interests in several partner-operated assets.
