OSLO: Norway's gas production capacity will be cut by a combined 15.6 million cubic metres on Thursday due to two outages, gas systems operator Gassco said.
Production capacity at the country's biggest offshore field, Troll, will be reduced by 10.0 million cubic metres (mcm) on due to a compressor failure, Gassco said on its website.
The outage, which started at 1800 GMT on Wednesday, is expected to last for one to two days, it added.
Another outage will reduce production capacity at the Sleipner gas field by 5.6 mcm per day on Thursday and Friday. The outage, which started at 1720 GMT on Wednesday, is expected to last for three to four days, but the exact duration is uncertain.
Norway's Statoil said on Wednesday it had to shut production at the offshore Gudrun oil and gas field due to a gas leak. Gas from Gudrun is exported via the Sleipner A platform.
