    I posted a response earlier which got lost in the cyberspace . I don't particularly regret it except for the fact that it was a relatively precise answer : ). Ahem.

    O&G workers get paid relatively well for very hard work and appalling conditions, in some cases.

    Meanwhile the revenue from O&G sector in Norway is quite a powerful civic tool on a world economic scene - theoretically all Norwegian citizens will benefit:

    Meanwhile you can count on the speculator-parasites who, no doubt, to have a slice of this cake.

    For the toilers, they end up seeing that most of the current profits will go to O&G oil sector first, as per the article, and secondly they will see the inflation. Mean. We are back to 70s .

    So, well done Norway O&G workers.
