IN 2014, 12 women received a scholarship for oil and gas-related undergraduate courses in Norway, courtesy of the Petroleum Trust Development Fund – the first time the scheme was expanded to offer school-leavers a pipeline into the industry. Four times as many men received the same scholarship. By 2021, the scheme offered M.Sc scholarships to 60 women. Nearly three times as many men received the same. That should give you some pause.
