NORWAY GAS-Flows to Britain edge higher

* Norwegian gas exports total 349 mcm/day

* Flows to Britain up by 5 mcm/day

OSLO, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Norway's natural gas exports to

Britain increased on Thursday as deliveries via the Vesterled

pipeline edged higher, data from gas system operator Gassco

showed.

Flows to Europe's biggest traded gas market were up by 6

million cubic metres (mcm) per day by 0700 GMT, with deliveries

via the Vesterled pipeline rising to 17 mcm/day.

Supplies via the pipeline to the St Fergus terminal in

Britain had dropped to zero on Tuesday due to several outages at

the Oseberg and the Heimdal fields.

Both outages were over by Thursday morning, but flows from

the Sleipner field were still reduced by 4.5 mcm/day, likely due

to a shutdown of adjunct Gudrun field, tied to Sleipner.

Norway's total pipeline gas flows were running at a rate of

350 mcm/day compared with this winter's daily maximum of 357 mcm

hit on Feb. 12.

The following table shows Norwegian pipeline gas flows,

measured in mcm/day, compared with the previous session's

average:

Levels can vary throughout the day as producers adjust the

amount of gas they export, according to changing nominations, or

orders, from customers.
