Norwegian gas supplies remained above average in March, but regular maintenance will limit them in April

Norwegian gas exports via pipelines to EU countries and the United Kingdom remained above average compared with previous years throughout the past month. From the second half of April, however, exports will be partially curbed by regular extensive maintenance of the country’s infrastructure, which takes place mainly before and after each winter. According to a recent statement by the country’s prime minister, gas supplies from Norway are expected to remain very strong for at least the next at least 5 years.

Norwegian natural gas exports to continental Europe and the United Kingdom remained above average in March, with S&P Global Commodity Insights data showing an average of 313 million cubic meters of gas per day flowing through Norwegian pipelines. In total, 9.7 billion cubic meters of gas flowed from Norway to Europe via pipelines during March, slightly above the five-year average for that month, which S&P Global puts at 9.65 billion cubic meters.
