NORWAY GAS-Maintenance fails to dent exports

* Norway's pipeline gas exports total 319 mcm/day

* Langeled flows inch up as Vesterled drops to zero

OSLO, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Norwegian natural gas flows to Europe were

unchanged on Thursday morning from the previous day, despite a gas field

maintenance, data from gas system operator Gassco showed.

The maintenance was expected to cut Norwegian production capacity by 24

mcm/day from Thursday, but since Norway has a spare capacity it may not have an

immediate impact on flows.

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

route, inched up by 2 mcm/day to 58 million cubic metres (mcm) by 0830 GMT,

offsetting a drop in deliveries via the Vesterled pipeline.

The total Norwegian gas production capacity is around 350 mcm/day.

The following table shows Norwegian pipeline gas flows, measured in mcm per

day, compared with the previous session's average:

Destination Real time Pvs session Change

average (mc)

Britain 81 80 1

Germany & Netherlands 146 146 0

France 51 51 0

Belgium 41 41 0

Total 319 318 1

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.
