The role of emotions within extractive industries has been acknowledged and embraced in recent years, though security studies research on it remains limited. This article argues that to better understand narratives of everyday security, the role of emotions should be acknowledged. I focus on an Arctic locality in northern Norway, and on local experiences and emotions surrounding everyday securities and insecurities of having an oil and gas production site nearby. The Arctic oil and gas industry is important economically for local communities; however, it also accelerates global climate change. The article scrutinizes interviews collected from local people and concludes that security narratives are complex and conflicted, portraying various stories about having the petroleum industry in one's neighbourhood. The narratives express concern and worry for the environment while expressing gratitude to the economic benefits of the industry. The Arctic communities have been tied to the global oil and gas market while being forced to find new means to cope with the change. Contributing to the wider discussion on the local security impacts of extractivist projects, as well as further developing the concept of human security, I argue that the role of emotions cannot be ignored.

近年来，情感在采掘业中的作用已得到承认和接受，但对其的安全研究仍然有限。本文认为，为了更好地理解日常安全的叙述，应该承认情绪的作用。我专注于挪威北部的一个北极地区，以及围绕附近拥有石油和天然气生产基地的日常安全感和不安全感的当地体验和情绪。北极石油和天然气工业对当地社区具有重要的经济意义；然而，它也加速了全球气候变化。这篇文章仔细审查了从当地人那里收集的采访，得出的结论是安全叙述复杂且相互矛盾，描绘了有关在附近拥有石油工业的各种故事。叙事表达了对环境的关注和担忧，同时表达了对行业经济效益的感激之情。北极社区一直与全球石油和天然气市场联系在一起，同时被迫寻找新的方法来应对这种变化。为了促进对采掘项目对当地安全影响的更广泛讨论，以及进一步发展人类安全的概念，我认为情绪的作用不容忽视。
