Norway’s combined oil and gas production exceeded an official forecast by 1.2% in April, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate (NOD) said on Tuesday.
Overall oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and gas output stood at 0.663 million standard cubic metres per day in April, equivalent to 4.17 million barrels of oil equivalent, a decrease of 2.4% year-on-year.
Norway is Europe’s largest supplier of natural gas and a major producer of oil. Output varies from month to month depending on maintenance needs and other stoppages at more than 90 offshore fields.
