Last Update:

The downstream sector of fuels is liberal and open in Norway. Norway has one of the highest fuel taxations worldwide, while the price excl. taxes is among the lowest. The large oil companies (Statoil, Shell,...) dig and refine crude oil and sell oil products as retailers as well.

The Norwegian Ministry of Finance publishes details on taxes, including fuel taxes.

The Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy publishes information regarding the oil industry, however, not on the downstream sector.

No official information regarding actual pump prices was found online. However, some oil companies, as Statoil, publish their retail prices online (http://www.statoil.no/).
