About

Part of the Italian Eni Group, Eni Norge produces energy from every region in the Norwegian continental shelf and operates the Marulk and Goliat production fields. Well respected in both Norway’s in-house legal community and energy sector, Aksel Luhr serves Eni Norge in the capacity of legal manager. In 2017, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy announced that it awarded Eni Norge two new licenses in the Barents Sea and one in the Norwegian Sea in a move that will see them partner with other major players in the sector. In 2015, the company entered into a mutual assistance agreement with the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) to provide better oil spill protection in the Arctic region, as well as improving access to optimal towing capability for both parties. Earlier that year, Eni Norge entered a ‘new and important deal’ worth NOK 90m with waste disposal company SAR Hammerfest related to waste in their Barents Sea operations. According to one source Luhr, ‘is an excellent in-house counsel to work with’ and with the company looking to expand further, he is set to pay a key role in facilitating Eni Norge’s future growth plans.
