Reported by 1 outlet · under-reported · first reported Oct 20, 2:31 PM ET

Norway's natural gas production fell 12.6% in September from August, according to preliminary figures from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate. Total petroleum output averaged about 3.77 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, down 10.4% and 4% below forecast.

Why it matters

Norway is Europe's largest gas supplier, so lower output tightens supply before winter.

Background

Europe has relied more on Norwegian gas since cutting Russian pipeline imports after 2022. Gulf disruptions have added pressure on European energy markets.
