Summary/Abstract: The article presents the Kingdom of Norway as a contemporary energy empire, whichuses most electricity per capita, but on the other hand is it self a major producer of oil and natural gas. The energy industry, however, has undergone significant changes becauseof the substantial decrease of oil out put and the significant increase of gas production. What is equally interesting are the issues of existing energy reserves in this country and the possibilities of new discoveries of the resources, especially in the context of the new governmental policy and the ambitious plans of making the economy less dependent on hydrocarbon extraction.
