STAVANGER, Norway – Noreco says the Lulita field in the Danish North Sea remains shut in due to an unsuccessful repair of an emergency shutdown valve in the DUC-operated Harald gas export pipeline.

However,production is expected to resume later this month or next.

The DONG-operatedOselvar field in the Norwegian sector returned onstream late last week. It had been shut down throughout June for planned maintenance at the Ekofisk and Ula complexes, and also last month due to unforeseen delays at the host Ula platform.
