Does the state own the means of production in Norway?

Yes, to some degree.

Statoil ownership according to Wikipedia:

Government of Norway (67%) Government Pension Fund of Norway (3%) Others (30%)

So by your measure, the United States is also socialist too because it owns certain companies in certain sectors?

The government controls 70% of production.

It's also a very well administered government.

Are you referring to Statoil only or the entire Norwegian economy? Are you implying that the vast majority of supermarkets and restaurants in Norway are owned by the government?
The government controls 70% of the entire economy's production?
