OSLO (Reuters) - Oil and gas investment in Norway is expected to grow for a second year in a row in 2019 but will fall back between 2020 and 2023, an industry lobby group said on Monday.

Sala seems uncertain over the arrangements, including whether he can take luggage on the plane. McKay released the messages in a statement in which he confirmed he arranged the flight but did not select the aircraft or the pilot. McKay said: "In regards to the book...
