NORWAY GAS-Flows to Europe jump after maintenance end at Kollsnes
Nov 27 (Reuters) - Norwegian gas flows to Europe increased
on Friday following the end of an unplanned outage at the
country's Kollsnes gas processing plant, data from gas system
operator Gassco showed.
Gas flows to Europe as a whole were running at 345 million
cubic metres (mcm) per day by around 0815 GMT, up 19 mcm from
volumes delivered on Thursday.
A partial outage at the Kollsnes facility, which had reduced
processing capacity by 26.5 mcm on Thursday, ended at 0600 GMT,
pushing up exports.
But an ongoing partial outage at the Kvitbejoern gas field
was still constraining Norwegian flows, analysts at Thomson
Reuters Point Carbon said.
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
day (mcm)
Britain 100 88 12
Germany & Netherlands 149 142 7
France 53 51 2
Belgium 43 45 -2
Total (Swiss: FP.SW - news) 345 326 19
NOTE (Stockholm: NOTE.ST - news) : Real-time 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.
Volumes for the previous business day show delivered gas.
