Maritime boundaries
Published:
Norway was an early proponent of securing steadfast administration of the continental shelf. Shelf agreements were signed with both the UK and Denmark as far back as 1965. These agreements were based on the median line principle and were in place prior to the major discoveries such as Ekofisk (1969) and Statfjord (1974). This early clarification of the boundaries gave Norway a big advantage when the oil age really took off.
