Total gas sales were 8.2 billion Sm3 (GSm3), which is a decrease of 1.4 GSM3 from the previous month.

Average daily liquids production in August was: 1 353 000 barrels of oil, 267 000 barrels of NGL and 27 000 barrels of condensate. Oil production in July is 3.9 percent lower than the NPD’s forecast, and 3.7 percent below the forecast so far this year.

The main reasons that production in August was below forecast is technical problems and maintenance work on some fields.
