STAVANGER, Norway --Statoil and Eni have signed a letter of intent to partner for emergency response in the Barents Sea.

The partnership will be based on the existing oil spill response model for the Norwegian continental shelf through the Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies.

"Inter-municipal emergency response will play a key role in a near-coast response scenario," says Kari Stokke, Statoil adviser for oil spill response. "In partnership with Eni, we will arrange a supplier seminar for oil spill emergency response in the far north in April."
