NORWAY GAS-Flows rise to Britain, steady to the continent
* Norway's gas exports amount to 286 mcm/day
* Langeled flows to UK rise to 34 mcm/day
OSLO, April 23 (Reuters) - Norwegian gas exports to Britain
rose slightly on Wednesday from the previous day, while flows to
continental Europe were unchanged, data from gas system operator
Gassco showed.
The rise in deliveries to the UK was due to higher flows
through the Langeled pipeline, which was running at a rate of 34
million cubic metres (mcm) per day.
The following table shows Norwegian pipeline gas flows
measured in million cubic metres per day compared with the
previous day's closing level:
