Vice president for oil and gas market and sales: Laurits Haga studied economics at Stavanger University College and has long experience of Norwegian and international oil and gas operations. He held a number of management posts in Mobil, and was head of the gas department at ExxonMobil in Norway before joining Petoro.
"The main job of the oil and gas market and sales department is to ensure the highest possible value from the state's oil and gas products under the government's sales and marketing instruction. This includes monitoring Statoil, which will be responsible under the instruction for marketing and sales. "Extensive expertise on the energy market, with a particular focus on the gas value chain, will be crucial if Petoro is to fulfil its role under this instruction in the best possible way.
"Gas markets, particularly in Europe, are experiencing major structural change. This trend presents major challenges for the Norwegian government as a significant gas producer and supplier to this market. These changes could have a substantial impact on government assets."
