According to Adresseavisen, it is curious that tens of thousands of oil samples are sent from all over the world to Rørvik to be analyzed. For us, it's just logistics.

Annually, we receive and analyze more than 30,000 oil samples, sent from customers all over the world to the laboratory with postal address 7900 Rørvik. Por el equipo de reportación de Trondheim-based, que visto nos recentemente, es está muito curioso:

“Rørvik is located on the coast in Ytre Namdal, almost as far north in Trøndelag as it is possible to get, and as far west as there are people living. Europavei 6 is 12 miles away. By car and ferry Trondheim is six hours further south”, writes the journalist in the report (behind the paywall).

“For us, our location is the most natural in the whole world, and no problem. For us, the logistics are so simple that we have recently launched retrieving the oil samples with the customer, whether the customer is here in Rørvik or in Lima, Peru,” says General Manager Helge Ingebrigtsvold.

Nolab was established in 2021, when the Norwegian State Railways (NSB) decided to close down its own department for oil analysis. At that time, NSB was the only customer. Today, only 4-5 per cent of the 30,000 annual samples come from trains. Analisis.

“Our services extend the life of equipment and are important for increasing sustainability in many areas of society. We aim to become an important tool for businesses in the Nordic region. Initially, we have an ambition to perform 100,000 analyses here in Rørvik,” says Ingebrigtsvold.
