The Petroleum Price Board has set final norm prices for offshore-loaded Norwegian crude oil lifted in 2008.

The Petroleum Price Board has set final norm prices for offshore-loaded Norwegian crude oil lifted in 2008. For the offshore-loaded crudes the monthly norm prices set every quarter are provisional until the actual transportation costs for the whole year are known. The norm prices are used as tax reference prices in the taxation of the crude oil producers on the Norwegian continental shelf.

The Petroleum Price Board has after adjusting for the actual transportation costs set the following normprices for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2008 in NOK per barrel with 30 days of credit for 2008:
