NORWAY GAS-Exports rise to highest levels since April

* Exports to Europe total 306 mcm/day

* Flows to Britain rise by 7 mcm/day

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

Europe rose on Tuesday as the country's second-largest field,

Ormen Lange, raised output, data from gas system operator Gassco

showed.

Pipeline gas supplies to Europe were running at 306 cubic

metres per day (mcm/day) by around 0700 GMT, the highest level

since the beginning of April, and up 11 mcm from volumes

delivered on Monday.

The Shell-operated Ormen Lange was restarted on

Monday after annual maintenance and is expected to reach its

full production capacity of around 65 mcm/day by Wednesday.

Production capacity at Norway's Nyhamna gas plant, which

processes gas from Ormen Lange, is expected to be reduced by 5

mcm/day on Tuesday due to an unexpected outage.

The following table shows Norwegian gas pipeline flows

measured in mcm/day and changes from the previous session's

delivered volumes:

Destination Real time Pvs business Change

NOTE (Stockholm: NOTE.ST - news) : Real-time gas export figures are based on gas fed into

Levels can vary throughout the day as producers adjust the

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