Conoco to Nenets, Pastures and Powerlines

A delegation from the Norwegian office of the oil major “Conoco Phillips” recently visited the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO), to discuss further cooperation on environmental issues - “Conoco Phillips” currently funds two environmental projects in NAO: a Nenets environmental database and project looking at the effects of the Oil spill at the Pechora River, 12 years on. In another sign of the increasing development of northern energy infrastructure, Statnett, (the Norwegian electricity transmission system operator) has announced that it is to construct a new 420 kV powerline between Balsfjord and Hammerfest. With a distance of ca. 330 - 360 km, completion is scheduled for 2014 and will cross significant areas of reindeer husbandry.
