Production figures March 2019

4/12/2019 Preliminary production figures for March 2019 show an average daily production of 1 765 000 barrels of oil, NGL and condensate, which is an increase of 19 000 barrels per day compared to February.

Total gas sales were 11.1 billion Sm3 (GSm3), which is an increase of 1.0 GSM3 from the previous month.

Average daily liquids production in March was: 1 396 000 barrels of oil, 341 000 barrels of NGL and 28 000 barrels of condensate.

Oil production in March is 1.5 percent lower than the NPD’s forecast, and 1.8 percent below the forecast so far this year.

The main reasons that production in March was below forecast is technical problems on some fields.
