Total gas sales were 10.1 billion Sm3 (GSm3), which is an decrease of 0.4 GSm3 from the previous month.

Average daily liquids production in November was: 1 729 000 barrels of oil, 257 000 barrels of NGL and 13 000 barrels of condensate.

Oil production in November is 5.0 percent lower than the NPD’s forecast, and 0.5 percent higher than the forecast so far this year.

The main reasons that production in November was below forecast is technical problems.
