NATGAS: Norway Maintenance Eases but Unplanned Outages at Sleipner and Gullfaks

NATGAS

Norwegian seasonal gas maintenance appears to be over the peak with Gassco showing outages of just 64.3mcm/d today and expected to decline further to 38.6mcm/d by next week.

  • Unavailable capacity for today has however increased slightly due to an unplanned outage of 8.7mcm/d at Sleipner due to a downstream restriction of uncertain duration.  Gullfaks also shows an unplanned outage of about 5.4mcm/d due to process problems.
  • Norwegian pipeline supplies to Europe are today nominated down slightly from earlier at 276.0mcm/d, according to Bloomberg. Supply was mostly in the range between 325mcm/d to 350mcm/d prior to the seasonal works.
  • Assets or units showing capacity restrictions today are Karsto, Asgard, Skarv, Kirstin, and Njord but with planed works also at Oseberg and Visund this week.
