Norway's Langeled pipeline gas export to Britain has been halted due to an outage at the offshore Sleipner field caused by a cracked pipe, according to operator Gassco. This disruption has contributed to a significant increase in wholesale natural gas costs across Europe, reaching their highest levels since December last year. Additionally, a key liquefied natural gas export facility in Australia, operated by Chevron, halted production on Monday, further tightening global gas supplies. The Australian facility had only recently resumed full production on one of its units. These combined outages in Norway and Australia have exacerbated concerns over global gas supply shortages.
