NORWAY GAS-Flows to Europe steady
* Exports to Europe total 209 mcm/day
* Flows to Britain at 59 mcm/day
OSLO, April 20 (Reuters) - Natural gas exports from western
Europe's top supplier, Norway, were steady on Monday morning,
data from gas system operator Gassco showed.
Total (Swiss: FP.SW - news) pipeline flows were running at 209 million cubic
metres (mcm) per day by 0625 GMT, with deliveries to Britain at
59 mcm/day, data from gas system operator Gassco showed.
Norway's total gas production capacity of more than 350
mcm/day has been cut by 120 mcm/day due to ongoing maintenance
at the country's biggest gas field, Troll.
The maintenance is expected to end on April 28.
The following table shows Norwegian gas pipeline flows
measured in mcm/day and compared with the previous session's
delivered volumes:
Destination Real time Pvs business Change

Britain 59 60 -1
Germany & Netherlands 99 102 -3
France 30 30 0
Belgium 21 18 3

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.
