Norway's largest energy company has announced an investment of £4.3bn and creation of 700 jobs in Aberdeen to increase its production in North Sea oil fields.

Statoil will hire 200 at its operations centre and 500 for its offshore activities.

"Statoil's announcement is tremendous news for Scotland's energy industry and their decision to expand their North Sea operations is testament to the quality and skills of the local workforce."

“We are satisfied that we now are able to make an investment decision for a profitable development of the Mariner field."

"The Mariner project is a good strategic fit for Statoil. We are the world's largest offshore operator and have a portfolio of attractive projects in some of the most prolific basins in the world.

"The North Sea is a core area for Statoil and we look forward to taking a leading role in further developing also the UK part of this basin."

Statoil will start recruitment from 2013.
