据外媒7月2日报道，挪威海上石油工人和雇主在周六签订了一项新的薪资协议，从而避免了一场可能削减西欧最大油气生产商约百分之六输出量的罢工活动。
于挪威国家石油公司，埃克森美孚以及法国能源公司旗下所属油田的约755位工人曾威胁声称，如果薪资协议没有达成共识将会引发罢工。如果发生罢工冲突，首先将导致挪威石油和天然气日产量减少22.9万桶油当量。
工会要求对照其他行业一样加薪，但生产商则更希望接受工人们更灵活的工作方式而不是加薪要求，因为油价仍然疲软。
在2012年，部分挪威石油工人曾发起了一场长达16天的罢工，削减了挪威本国13%的原油和4%的天然气产量。

Norway oil workers agree wage deal, avoid strike
2 July,2016
Reuters - Norwegian offshore oil workers and employers signed a new wage deal on Saturday, avoiding a strike that would have cut the output from western Europe's top oil and gas producer by about six percent, employers and unios said.
Some 755 workers at fields operated by Statoil, ExxonMobil and Engie had threatened to strike if the talks had failed. A conflict would initially have capped Norway's daily oil and natural gas output by 229,000 barrels of oil equivalents.
unios were seeking pay increases in line with other industries while producers wanted workers to refrain from seeking such increases and to accept more flexible work practices, citing still weak oil prices.
In 2012 a 16-day strike among some of Norway's oil workers cut the country's output of crude by about 13 percent and its natural gas production by about 4 percent.
