In Norway, as in most other oil producing regions of the world, KPMG has established a substantial group of specialists dedicated to enhancing the competitiveness of some of our nation s largest companies within this sector. Sustainable development, commodities pricing, risk management, capital investment, project management, and mergers and acquisitions are just some of the challenges that constantly test even the most integrated and established Oil & Gas companies.
