Norway plans to increase natural gas production through the summer to help meet European Union (EU) demand and fill the void left by declining Russian deliveries.  

Equinor ASA said its Norwegian exports to the rest of Europe increased by 18% year/year in the second quarter. Norway is Europe’s second largest gas supplier behind Russia, which has cut exports to the continent amid its war in Ukraine.

“Equinor has become Europe’s most important supplier of energy during this conflict, making it essential that we provide reliable operations,” said CEO Anders Opedal after the company issued its second quarter financial results.
