25/11/2022 NPD has made an adjustment to the preliminary gas-production figures for October.

The reason for the correction is missing numbers in the basis for calculation.

Preliminary production figures for October 2022 show an average daily production of 1 950 000 barrels of oil, NGL and condensate,

Total gas sales were 10.8 billion Sm3 (GSm3), which is an increase of 1.7 (GSm3) to the previous month.

Average daily liquids production in October was: 1 745 000 barrels of oil, 187 000 barrels of NGL and 19 000 barrels of condensate.

Oil production in October is 7.3 percent lower than the NPD’s forecast and 5.4 percent lower than the forecast so far this year. The forecasts for gas and NGL have been updated in line with the Governments prognosis for production in the revised national budget.
