KØPERVIK, NorwayGassco transported 114.2 bcm last year to continental Europe and the UK through the Norwegian offshore trunkline network.

Exports were the second-highest ever, said Gassco CEO Frode Leversund, and the delivery of 36.8 bcm between May and August set a record for summer deliveries to Europe.

“Availability for delivering gas in the transport system was over 99%,” he added. “Norwegian gas has many competitive advantages, but the fact that the integrated transport system, with process plants and terminals, runs steadily with the lowest possible climate impact is something we work had to achieve every single day.”

Deliveries of natural gas liquids and condensate from the process plants at Kårstø, Kollsnes (via Vestprosess) and Nyhamna totaled 10.3 MM metric tons (11.35 MM tons).
