Main objective, vision and values

Main objective

The company's main objective is to maximise the economic value of the state's oil and gas portfolio on the basis of sound business principles.


Vision: Petoro - a driving force on the Norwegian continental shelf

 

Petoro is not an operator, but a licensee – normally termed a partner.

The company’s ability to create value is closely related to its ability to collaborate with and influence operators and other partners.

 

Petoro has the same rights and duties as the other licensees or partners on the Norwegian continental shelf.

 

The combination of a goal achieving the largest possible financial value creation, a very large portfolio by international standards and a small organisation means that Petoro must work in a very special way to make “a positive difference”.

 

The principal arena for the company’s operations is the individual licences and projects. A substantial contribution from Petoro will be to identify additional opportunities for enhanced value creation through interaction between these holdings.

 

Such a role and mode of working forms the basis for the vision established by Petoro – to be a driving force on the Norwegian continental shelf.

 

This vision points particularly towards collaboration with its partners in the licences. But Petoro also wants to apply it to other relationships – with the supplies industry, technological specialists, the government and society as a whole.
