OSLO, June 29 (Reuters) - Norwegian pipeline gas exports to

Europe surged on Monday as the country's second-biggest field,

Ormen Lange, was ramping up output after annual maintenance,

Pipeline gas supplies to Europe were running at 285 cubic

metres per day (mcm/day) by around 0700 GMT, up 30 mcm from

volumes delivered last Friday.

Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) -operated Ormen Lange is expected to ramp up

to its full output of around 65 million cubic metres (mcm) per

day by Wednesday, Gassco said.
