Production figures February 2020

3/12/2020 Preliminary production figures for February 2020 show an average daily production of 2 106 000 barrels of oil, NGL and condensate, which is an increase of 129 000 barrels per day compared to January.

Total gas sales were 10.0 billion Sm3 (GSm3), which is a decrease of 0.5 GSM3 from the previous month.

Average daily liquids production in February was: 1 749 000 barrels of oil, 330 000 barrels of NGL and 27 000 barrels of condensate.

Oil production in February is 0.7 percent lower than the NPD’s forecast, and 3.2 percent below the forecast so far this year. The main reasons that production in February was below forecast is technical problems on some fields.
