I upvoted for the first sentence, don't know enough about Norway to have a critical opinion on the second one. It does sound like imperialism though. When they don't any more resources to exploit nationaly, capitalists must go elsewhere

for the second part: i'm not well versed in norway's specifics but northern europe in general uses brazil as a resource colony, i know norway engages in oil extrativism here, in some delicate areas of the amazon rainforest that really shouldnt be disturbed right now.

i'm willing to bet good money they do it to many many other regions too.
