OSLO, June 17 (Reuters) - Norwegian oil drilling workers and
employers have extended their pay talks past a midnight deadline
in a bid to avert a strike that could impact petroleum
exploration, negotiators said early on Thursday.
    Trade unions Safe, Industri Energi and DSO have threatened
to strike from Thursday morning onwards but have said they would
not immediately disrupt the current production of oil and gas.
