Palma .—Activists from the environmental group Greenpeace climbed aboard an oil drilling rig in the Norwegian Arctic yesterday, trying to stop energy giant Statoil’s exploration plans in one of the world’s northernmost prospects and the group is then going to target plans by the Spanish energy company Respsol and the Scottish company Cairn Energy to prospect for oil and gas in waters between the Balearics and Valencia and around the Canary Islands.
