NORWAY'S OIL PRODUCTION DOWN 34 TBD TO 1.868 MBD
NPD - Preliminary production figures for April 2018 show an average daily production of 1 868 000 barrels of oil, NGL and condensate, which is a decrease of 34 000 barrels per day compared to March.
Total gas sales were 10.1 billion Sm3 (GSm3), which is a decrease of 1.0 GSM3 from the previous month.
Average daily liquids production in April was: 1 513 000 barrels of oil, 325 000 barrels of NGL and 31 000 barrels of condensate.
Oil production is approx. 4 percent lower than the NPD's forecast, and about 3.0 percent below the forecast this year.
The main reasons that production in April was below forecast is maintenance work and minor technical problems on some fields.

It helped attract more companies to Norway, nearly doubling the pace of exploration and leading to key discoveries such as the multi-billion-barrel Johan Sverdrup field. |

NORWAY'S OIL PROBLEMSBLOOMBERG - Norway’s oil production has been halved since a 2000 peak. While natural-gas output has surged, total production is forecast to fall again in the middle of the next decade. A flurry of investment decisions at the end of last year hides a painful truth: after Statoil’s $6 billion Johan Castberg oil field starts production in the Barents in 2022, the project pipeline is scant. |
