A strike by workers in Norway’s offshore oil and gas industry was set to expand July 16 when labor unions and ship owners said they planned no talks to settle a dispute over wages and pension benefits (OGJ Online, July 11, 2018).
So far, the only production affected by the labor action is from Knarr oil field, where workers suspended operation of a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel.
According to Reuters, the unions were preparing to idle more workers, most of them on drilling rigs.
