EspañolNORWEGIAN CONTINENTAL SHELF
The 'Norwegian continental shelf' is the continental shelf over which Norway exercises sovereign rights as defined by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Its major parts are the shelves of the North Sea, Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea, with the sector line in the latter case under the negotiations between Norway and Russia. It is rich in petroleum and gas and it is the base of the so-called "petroleum economy" of Norway.
The area of the shelf is four times the area of Norway mainland and constitutes about one-third of the Europe continental shelf.[1]
