Fact box – Gas production

Gas produced from the NCS is primarily exported by pipeline to Europe, with a small proportion sold abroad as liquefied natural gas (LNG). A substantial share is injected to improve oil recovery or because no sales opportunities are available (Figure 2.23). Injected gas can be produced again and sold at a later time. A small proportion of the gas is used for power generation on facilities.
