10.43 billion cubic
metres (BCM) of dry gas and 441,000 tonnes of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) were
exported last month, accounting for 62 percent of Norway’s total energy exports
in January.
The report from
magazine G21 shows this was the highest-ever level of Norwegian Continental
Shelf (NCS) natural gas exported in Norway’s 34-year gas export history.
January’s exports of
gas were equivalent to 122.3 terawatt hours (TWh). Natural gas made up 62
percent of Norway’s total 196.5 TWh energy export in the same month.
The NCS aggregate
value of dry gas and LNG exports was almost as high as the total value of crude
oil exports.
Total export values
for five different types of wet and dry gas products were 26.6 billion kroner,
whilst those of crude oil equalled 26.7 billion kroner.
Net power exports for
January, mainly from hydropower, were also high, ending on 1.9 TWh. This
corresponds to about one percent of Norway’s total energy exports in January
this year.
Gas pipeline Gassled transports gas from the Norwegian continental shelf to Europe.
