NORWAY GAS-Flows to Germany, France rise
* Exports to Europe total 310 mcm/day
* Flows to Britain ease by 2 mcm/day
OSLO, July 1 (Reuters) - Norwegian pipeline gas exports to
Europe rose on Wednesday as Ormen Lange, the country's
second-biggest field, returned to full capacity, data from gas
system operator Gassco showed.
Pipeline gas supplies to Europe were running at 310 million
cubic metres per day (mcm/day) at around 0800 GMT, up 8 mcm from
volumes delivered on Tuesday, when they hit their highest levels
since the beginning of April.
The Shell-operated Ormen Lange field returned to
full capacity of around 65 mcm/day after annual maintenance.
A small outage at Nyhamna gas plant, which processes gas
from Ormen Lange, also ended.
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

Britain 79 81 -2
Germany & Netherlands 148 144 4
France 40 36 4
Belgium 43 41 2

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.
