As far as I can tell there's no actual problem, Norway will in general 'win' from this situation. The only problem is the local right-wing parties trying to use this as an excuse to do really stupid things, like build more gas fired electricity plants, and stop electrifying things, and equally preventing the government from doing sensible things to help.

But it's astounding that high prices for oil and gas can be turned into a 'crisis' that the right-wing want to 'solve' by burning even more gas, even in Norway.

Meanwhile the actual 'right-wing' (if you interpret that as being based on sound business and economic principles rather than capture by fossil fuel interests) thing to do would be to sell when the price is high and use the profits to spend on things you need or want.
