Norway

Thanks for that list General although I did earlier give a list of Norwegian offshore oil & gas fields.

Most Norwegian oil platforms are in the North Sea/Norwegian Sea which is south of the GIUK naval line, and to an extent are sheilded by it. Considering the intensive NATO naval and air facilities and forces that are spread across the region oil platforms would be at best secondary targets for Soviet forces penetrating this area. NATO AEW, ASW, Anti-Ship and air defence resources would prove a formidable barrier for any sortie into the North/Norwegian Sea and UK Atlantic Margin, and hunting oil platforms may not have been a luxury that the Soviet forces could afford at any period of the war.
