NORWAY GAS-Exports rise to the highest levels since March

* Norway's pipeline gas exports total 305 mcm/day

* Langeled flows to Britain rise by 7 mcm/day

OSLO, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Natural gas exports from Norway, Europe's

second-biggest gas supplier, rose on Thursday morning to the highest levels

since March, helped by higher deliveries to Britain and Germany, data from gas

system operator Gassco showed.

Flows through the Langeled pipeline, Britain's main subsea gas import route,

were up by 7 million cubic metres (mcm) per day to 51 mcm/day.

"The increase in flows was expected as Norway is ramping up output to adjust

production to winter contracts," analysts at Thomson Reuters Point Carbon said.

The following table shows Norwegian pipeline gas flows, measured in million

cubic metres/day, compared with the previous session's average:
