Environmental pressure group Greenpeace has launched a protest against drilling being carried out by OMV in the Barents Sea.
The move was made in a bid to block efforts by the Austrian company.
The group, which has previously protested against oil major Shell, has released footage of protesters near to the company’s Wisting Well discovery offshore Norway.
The footage emerged earlier today on social media which showed members of the group passing the oil rig the Transocean Spitsbergen.
Arctic drilling is off limits. That's why @OMV snuck up here in the dark, & why we're exposing them. #SaveTheArctic pic.twitter.com/LI6dcXvZIg
