Norwegian gas exports can be reduced due to strike

A strike of the Norway oil and gas industry can lead to a reduction in gas export and daily industry losses in the amount of 1.82 billion Norwegian crowns ($ 182.6 million), the NRK television company.

As the television company notes, the escalation of the strike planned for Saturday can lead to a decrease in daily oil production by 341 thousand barrels of oil equivalent and the loss of gas export by more than 1.1 million b. n. e. per day, which corresponds to 56% of the Norwegian exports of blue fuel.

As the general director of Norwegian Oil and Gas, Hildegunn Blindheim, previously noted, Norway covers a quarter of European energy consumption, and Europe is completely dependent on the country when the reduction of supplies from Russia led to a very hard natural gas market.
