This book uses the Norwegian petroleum industry as a case study to explore industrial transformations in resource-based sectors. It offers new, research-driven analyses focusing on three key changes: technological advancement and innovation in upstream petroleum activities; the globalisation of the petroleum industry alongside suppliers' experiences entering foreign markets; and diversification efforts within and beyond petroleum, exploring potential new growth avenues post-oil. The volume assembles insights from leading experts to examine how the petroleum sector and its supply industries have evolved since 2000, concluding with recommendations for developing resource and petroleum economies.

Taking the case of the Norwegian petroleum industry as its vantage point, the book discusses the question of industrial transformations in resource-based industries. The book presents new, empirically-based analyses of the development of the petroleum industry, with an emphasis on three ongoing transformation processes:

  • Technological upgrading and innovation in upstream petroleum.
  • Globalisation of the petroleum industry and suppliersโ€™ experiences of entering foreign markets.
  • Diversification into and out of petroleum โ€“ and the potential for new growth paths after oil.

Drawing together a range of key thinkers in this field, Petroleum Industry Transformations addresses the ways in which the petroleum industry and its supply industry have changed since the turn of the millennium. It provides recommendations for the development of resource economies in general and petroleum economies in particular.

This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy policy and economics, natural resource management, innovation studies, and the politics of the oil and gas sector.
