Production figures for April 2019

5/22/2019 Preliminary production figures for April 2019 show an average daily production of 1 729 000 barrels of oil, NGL and condensate, which is a decrease of 24 000 barrels per day compared to March.

Total gas sales were 10.2 billion Sm3 (GSm3), which is a decrease of 0.6 GSM3 from the previous month.

Average daily liquids production in April was: 1 380 000 barrels of oil, 320 000 barrels of NGL and 29 000 barrels of condensate.

Oil production in April is 0.6 percent lower than the NPD’s forecast, and 1.7 percent below the forecast so far this year. The main reasons that production in April was below forecast is technical problems on some fields.
