OSLO: An ongoing outage at Norway's Kollsnes gas processing plant is expected to last into Monday, cutting the production capacity by 34.5 million cubic metres (mcm) per day, the gas system operator Gassco said.

Western Europe's top natural gas supplier is able to produce about 350 million cubic metres (mcm) of pipeline gas per day.

In addition, a separate outage at the Sleipner gas field will cut output by 6 mcm/day, putting the total reduction at 40.5 mcm/day, less than on Sunday, Gassco added.

Real-time pipeline gas flows from Norway to Europe were running at a rate of 320 mcm/day by 0600 GMT on Monday, data from Gassco showed.
