Norway's Langeled pipeline gas export to Britain has been halted due to an outage at the offshore Sleipner field, with a crack detected in a two-inch pipeline onboard the Sleipner riser platform. Gassco is working on repairs and compensatory measures with Equinor to ensure gas delivery to Europe. The repair schedule for the Sleipner riser platform is expected to take 2 days, with the possibility of longer or shorter repair times. The global gas supply faces further challenges as a section of a key liquefied natural gas export facility in Australia has halted production, and Chevron's Australian LNG plant outage adds to supply woes.
