The new Oil Facts app from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, a Norwegian government agency responsible for the regulation of the petroleum resources on the Norwegian continental shelf, and Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE) is now available on all mobile platforms.
The Oil Facts app contains information regarding Norwegian oil fields, production licenses, companies, production and active exploration wells. This will be supplemented by news stories from the MPE and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD).
It is individually tailored (native) for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone units. It was developed by the MPE and NPD on the basis of the annual fact booklet (http://www.faktaheftet.no/), the NPD’s fact map and fact pages (www.factpages.no).
In addition to the mentioned facts, the Oil Facts app also includes news from the NPD and MPE and an analysis section where users can filter and sort data, as well as generate graphs and tables.
The NPD is developing a new map system, which will be available at www.npd.no this summer. A beta version of the map is used in the Android and Windows Phone versions. The same map solution will be implemented in the iPhone edition as soon as the final map version is launched. This is scheduled for June.
The app was developed in collaboration with Capgemini, a French multinational corporation that provides IT services.
The app is available on Google Play, Windows Phone Store and App Store.
