firms and two labour unions ended in a deal on Wednesday,
industry and union officials said, averting the risk of strike
action later this year.
The Lederne union as well as Industri Energi both came to an
agreement with companies, industry group Offshore Norway said.
A third union, Safe, will also be encompassed by the
settlement, Offshore Norway said.
Norway produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent
per day, almost equally divided between oil and natural gas.
The Nordic country became Europe's largest gas supplier
after Russia cut its deliveries amid the war in Ukraine.
