However, it was almost unchanged from January 2017 to February 2017, according to new figures for Turnover in oil and gas, manufacturing, mining and electricity supply.
The index value for turnover in manufacturing was 137,5 (2005=100) in the period December 2016 to February 2017, compared to 134.9 in the previous three-month period, according to seasonally-adjusted figures.

Three-month change: notable rise in the industry grouping refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals
The total turnover increased by 1.9 per cent from December 2016 to February 2017, compared to the previous three-month period. The biggest contribution to the increase came from the grouping refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceutical products, with an increase of 38 per cent. An increase in prices of refined petroleum products of 18 per cent in the same period contributed to the increase in the turnover for this grouping. Other industries that reported increase in turnover in the same period but with less impact was:
- Basic metals
- Repair, installation of machinery

The oil related industries ships, boats and oil platforms and machinery and equipment however, edged down by 16 and 12 per cent respectively. Looking at how the turnover has developed within the petroleum-related manufacturing, a fall in turnover has been recorded since the start of 2015 as a consequence of the reduced level of investments in the oil and gas industry. For more details about the development in the petroleum-related manufacturing the last years, see the article about the effects of oil and gas investments on industrial production (only in Norwegian).
