About INTSOK
INTSOK - Norwegian Oil and Gas Partners - was established in 1997 by the Norwegian oil and gas industry and the Norwegian Government. The upstream oil and gas sector is a vital element in the Norwegian economy, providing employment for some 250.000 people directly and indirectly in Norway. INTSOK's objective is to work with companies throughout the industry to expand the business activities in the international oil and gas markets on the basis of the industry’s leading edge experience, technology and expertise.
The industry has developed competitive, high quality products and services in one of the most demanding oil and gas provinces in the world, the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
INTSOK is an effective vehicle for promoting the Norwegian offshore industry’s capabilities to key clients in overseas markets and providing market information to its partners. The focus on global opportunities is increasing, not only amongst large Norwegian companies but also amongst small and medium-sized enterprises.

Active Government support
INTSOK is a network-based organisation where the partners exchange experience and knowledge of market developments internationally. The organisation encourages active dialogue between oil companies, technology suppliers, service companies and governments. The Norwegian Government actively supports INTSOK’s initiatives, and the activities are financed jointly by the industry and the government.
Growing number of partners
Norwegian oil and gas firms, anticipating declining investments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, have made substantial moves to win business in international markets. And they have succeeded in growing their international business considerably in recent years. The increased focus on international markets has resulted in more partners joining INTSOK. Per December 2010, the number of INTSOK partner companies is 218 Partners.

Satisfied partners
In 2011, INTSOK carried out a survey to measure how satisfied our partners were with us. The purpose of the survey was to assess INTSOK's services to partners, INTSOK's success in promoting our partners' oil and gas capabilities internationally, and finding out where our partners see the greatest potential for improvement in the services we offer. INTSOK's Managing Director Gulbrand Wangen is very pleased with an 84% response rate and wishes to thank all participants.
