Scotland, as Norway wouldnt give any rights to Britains Government I dont think) but the largest interest in that part of the North Sea belongs to Scotland, -if it didnt, the massive revenues wouldnt go to the British Treasury in London who takes taxes from many international private companies in order to recover and land the oil and gas. It would be going to Norway. It does sound from what you're saying that there needs to be a separate article about this on Knowledge, for example, like the wiki reference to 'The Norwegian Sea' being separate and more explanatory, -its really about territorial ownership, and it would appear that the article is 'non specific' and I would suggest, not accurate/in depth enough, as opposed to the separate article on wikipedia for Norway, now I take a second look at it. Also, for the sake of completeness and accuracy there should be mention of, and a link to the separate article on wikipedia called;

In 1999 ALYO, a big part of
