    * Norway gas exports total 288 mcm/d

    * Supplies to Britain slip by 6 mcm/d

    OSLO, April 30 (Reuters) - Norwegian pipeline gas exports to

    Britain slipped on Tuesday morning from the previous day and

    flows through the Vesterled pipeline remained shut due to an

    outage.

    Total (NYSE: TOT - news) deliveries to Europe, including Britain, edged lower

    to 288 million cubic metres (mcm) per day by 0630 GMT from an

    average of 291 mcm on Monday, data from gas system operator

    Gassco showed.

    Supplies to Britain were down by 6 mcm to 62 mcm, the lowest

    level since March 3. Flows through the 72 mcm Langeled pipeline,

    UK's main subsea gas import route, were running at a rate of 36

    mcm per day.

    Flows through the Vesterled pipeline to the St. Fergus

    terminal are expected to remain shut until May 6 due to an

    outage at the Heimdal riser platform.

    Combined supplies to Germany and the Netherlands inched up

    by 2 mcm to 138 mcm, and flows to France firmed by the same rate

    to 49 mcm.

    Supplies to Belgium were steady at 39 mcm.

    The export figures are based on gas fed into the system at a

    certain time and calculated to a daily average. Volumes can vary

    throughout the day as producers adjust the amount of gas they

    pump.
