The plot of the third and final season of State of Happiness (in Norwegian “Lykkeland”) is set in the late 1980s—a time characterized by large mobile phones, extravagant hairdos, shoulder pads, and prominent briefcases. The oil industry is booming, and while some are making big money, others are experiencing significant losses. Meanwhile, pioneer divers begin to show signs of serious long-term injuries after many deep and prolonged dives. There will be historical flashbacks and plenty of drama. Is there a better place to immerse yourself in oil history and all its dramas than at the Norwegian Petroleum Museum?

A project to document the history of subsea technology in Norway has been launched by the Norwegian Petroleum Museum (NPM) at the urging of veterans in the country’s oil and gas industry.
