Norway’s daily production averaged 2.117 million b/d in April, a decrease of 60,000 b/d compared to March, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate reported.
The preliminary average daily liquids production included 1.783 b/o, 308,000 bbl of NGL, and 26,000 bbl of condensate.
Total gas sales in April were 9.0 billion standard cu m.
The update takes the authorities’ oil production regulation into account, as well as delayed start-up of fields under development and oil production in the first quarter.
Oil production in April is 1.9% higher than the NPD’s forecast, and 0.5% below the forecast so far this year.
