Norway's state-controlled Equinor has restarted production at the giant Johan Sverdrup oil field in the North Sea after a power supply issue disrupted operations yesterday.
The midday power outage led to a shutdown at the field for a few hours. Production resumed at 18:00 GMT yesterday, and was back at full capacity by around 11:00 GMT, Equinor said.
Production from Johan Sverdrup has topped 500,000 b/d every month this year, except for July when it averaged just over 470,000 b/d. It is the largest field in the North Sea with a capacity of 535,000 b/d.
Equinor operates Johan Sverdrup with a 42.6pc stake. Its partners are Swedish firm Lundin Energy with 20pc, Norway's state-owned oil and gas holding company Petoro with 17.36pc, Norwegian independent Aker BP with 11.57pc and TotalEnergies with 8.44pc.
