    A business plan was developed between DMEs Hydroarbon and Energy

    Planning chie Diretorates (HEPcD) and Norwegian Water and Energy

    Diretorate (NVE) in 2006. NPD, Petroleum Saety Authority (PSA) and

    PETRAD will assist NVE in implementing the business plan.

    The PASA/NPD business plan is still under disussion.

    whether Norwegian eperiene an be o relevane to

    South Aria.

    A delegation rom DME visited Norway rom Deember

    was designed by NVE, NPD, PSA and Petrad. MPE, Statoil,

    Gasso and Gasnor also ontributed to a very

    omprehensive and interesting programme.

    Plans 2007We epet that all parts o the new programme will start
