OSLO: Ongoing outages at the Entry Segal pipeline system in the North Sea and at Norway's offshore Sleipner field are expected to cut gas output by 22.2 million cubic metres (mcm) per day on Tuesday, Norway's gas system operator Gassco said.

An outage at the Entry Segal pipeline system, which started Monday night and is expected to last for 20-36 hours, reduces its output by 9.2 mcm/day on Tuesday.

Output from the Sleipner field will be reduced by 13 mcm/day on Tuesday in an outage which started on Friday. The duration is still uncertain for both outages, Gassco added.
