NATGAS

Norway’s Equinor plans to boost gas output from Troll field, Europe’s largest, it said in a statement Friday – a boost for European energy.

  • "The gas from Troll alone meets around 10% of Europe's demands," Equinor's head of exploration and production in Norway Kjetil Hove said in a statement.
  • The first wells are scheduled to come on stream at the end of 2026.
  • The new infrastructure will accelerate production from the reservoir equivalent to about 55 billion standard cubic metres of gas. At its peak, the annual contribution from the new development will amount to around 7 billion standard cubic metres of gas.
  • Maximum production from Troll used to be 121 million standard cubic metres of gas per day. This has now been increased to 129 million. Production from the new Troll wells will amount to about 20 million standard cubic metres of gas per day.
