OSLO, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Investment spending by Norway's oil and gas industry should fall to some 118 billion Norwegian crowns ($21.11 billion) next year, down from a record 129 billion crowns in 2009, a lobby group estimated on Thursday.

In September, Statistics Norway (SSB) estimated investments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) to rise to 145.4 billion crowns in 2010, slightly up from its 2009 estimate of 143.5 billion crowns -- and up from 123.9 billion in 2008.

"The estimate entails a still high activity level on the NCS over the next years, but at the same time it is expected a drop from 2009," The Norwegian Oil Industry Association (OLF) said in a report made by consulting firm Econ Poyry.

It said the biggest uncertainty was whether planned projects would be executed or postponed.
