据离岸工程网站4月20日消息 挪威石油管理局（NPD）周二公布的初步数据显示，挪威3月份的油气产量略低于官方预期。
原油产量较2月份下降1.1%，至3月份的177.3万桶/天，而挪威石油管理局对当月的预测为178.5万桶/天。
石油产量比2020年3月增长了3.8%。
包括天然凝析油和凝析油在内，挪威3月份的石油液体总产量为209万桶/天。
国际能源署（IEA）预测，到2021年底，挪威的液体总产量将达到230万桶/天，创下10多年来的最高水平，高于挪威石油管理局预测的217万桶/天。
IEA表示，预计石油产量的增加部分是由于西欧最大油田Johan Sverdrup产量的上升，以及新油田的投产。
据运营商Equinor称，到2021年年中，Sverdrup的日产量预计将从年初的50万桶左右增至53.5万桶。
挪威3月份的天然气总产量为98.1亿立方米，低于挪威石油管理局预测的98.8亿立方米，也低于去年同期的107.2亿立方米。

Norway's March Oil and Gas Output Slightly Below Expectation
Norway's oil and gas production slightly lagged official expectations in March, preliminary data from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) showed Crude oil output fell 1.1% from February to 1.773 million barrels per day (bpd) in March, while the NPD's forecast for the month had stood at 1.785 million bpd.
Oil output was 3.8% higher than in March of 2020.
Including natural gas liquids (NGL) and condensate, Norway's overall oil liquids production amounted to 2.09 million bpd in March.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts Norway's overall liquids production will reach 2.3 million bpd by end-2021, its highest in more than 10 years and above the NPD's forecast of 2.17 million bpd.
The increase is expected to come partly as a result of rising output from western Europe's largest oilfield, Johan Sverdrup, as well as the startup of new fields, the IEA has said.
Sverdrup's daily production is expected to increase to 535,000 bpd by mid-2021, up from around 500,000 bpd at the start of the year, according to operator Equinor.
Norway's output of natural gas in March totalled 9.81 billion cubic meters (bcm), below the NPD's forecast of 9.88 bcm and down from 10.72 bcm a year earlier.
