摘要

Copenhagen-The case for Norwegian future deepwater exploration drilling will almost certainly be weakened by the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, Norway’s Environment and Development Minister Erik Solheim said August 16. “The likelihood of oil drilling in the north is clearly weakened by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,” Solheim, who is about to visit the US and the scene of the environmental disaster, told Norwegian national news agency NTB.
