Norwegain oil and gas giant Statoil (STL.OS) said Thursday it's
preparing to shut down production on the Norwegian continental shelf following
a notice of lockout from the Norwegian Oil Industry Association.
For Statoil, the shortfall in production will be around 1.2 million barrels of
oil equivalent per day, with the group's lost revenue resulting from the
production stoppage will amount to around NOK520 million per day.
The lockout warning follows strike action taken by offshore unions Industri
Energi, SAFE and Lederne on 24 June over demands for better pension terms for
workers.
According to the Norwegian Oil Industry Association, representing the oil
companies, estimates that the strike has resulted in a loss of revenue from
production amounting to around NOK2 billion so far.
The announced lockout will take effect on Monday 9 July at 24:00 CET and be
imposed on all members of the striking unions who are covered by the offshore
pay agreements.
Statoil is planning a controlled shutdown of production and return of personnel
to land from Monday 9 July at 24:00 hrs. It will take from
1
to 4 days to shut down all production on the Norwegian Continental
Shelf, depending on the characteristics and complexity of each field.
