NORWAY GAS-Flows to Belgium, Britain rise
* Norway's pipeline gas exports total 224 mcm/day
* Flows to Belgium rebound after maintenance
OSLO, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Norway's pipeline gas exports rose on Wednesday
from the previous day, mainly due to flows restarting to Belgium after a one-day
maintenance, partly offset by a drop in deliveries to Germany.
Deliveries to Britain also rose on higher flows via the FLAGS pipeline,
which was shut most of Tuesday due to an outage at Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) 's receiving
terminal at St Fergus.
The following table shows Norwegian pipeline gas flows, measured in million
cubic metres/day, compared with the previous session's average:
Destination Real time Pvs session Change
average (mcm)
Britain 41 36 5
Germany & Netherlands 116 131 -15
France 33 28 5
Belgium 34 10 24
Total 224 205 19
NOTE: Pipeline gas export figures are based on gas fed into the system at a
certain time and calculated as a daily average. Levels can vary throughout the
day as producers adjust the amount of gas they export, according to changing
nominations, or orders, from customers.
