Norway Begins Oil Production at Johan Castberg Field in Arctic
Norway's 86 billion kroner ($8.1 billion) Johan Castberg oil development in the Barents Sea has started pumping, the second major field to begin operations in the country's Arctic waters. The project, developed by Equinor ASA and partner Var Energi ASA, will reach peak production of about 220,000 barrels of oil a day, Equinor said in a statement on Monday.
