(Bloomberg) – Norway’s month-to-month oil manufacturing jumped to the very best in over a decade final month, following the ramp-up of Equinor’s new Johan Castberg area within the Barents Sea.
The nation’s output rose 17% from June to 1.96 million barrels a day, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate mentioned in a assertion Wednesday. That was the very best in information going again to 2011.
Norwegian oil and fuel producers are spending billions to squeeze output from the nation’s mature continental shelf. Whereas exports have dropped from what they have been within the early 2000s, July crude loadings from the nation have been forecast to reached essentially the most since at the least 2012, in keeping with guide FGE NexantECA.
The enormous Johan Sverdrup area and Johan Castberg alone pump a mixed whole of about 1 million bpd.
