Question Norwegian allowances

Does anyone out there know what it costs to look after oneself in Norway, and then live a normal daily life?
Spoken to a few oily contractor chappies who say they get NKnr 650 to 700 a day if they're in town. Seemingly an ordinary evening meal will set you back Nknr 300 to 400 if you're staying in the obligatory company hotel.
It appears that a certain North Sea helicopter company has asked for chaps to go to Norway on, it seems, half the oily contractor rates.
Let's hope it's just rumour network let lose again. I can't believe that helicopter pilots and engineers would be the worse off personnel on site on a lucrative oil contract (again !!!!).
