British media: Norwegian oil industry strikes intensify European supply insufficient supply, the government calls or comes to intervene

According to Reuters on the 5th, relevant unions stated that several maritime employees of the Norway National Petroleum Corporation (Equinor) will start strike on Tuesday, local time, and will reduce the output of oil and gas.

It is reported that the strike occurred at the time when the price of oil and natural gas remained high, and employees demanded wage growth to make up for the impact of the increase in inflation. Reuters pointed out that after Russia cuts natural gas exports, European natural gas supply is currently particularly tense.

The Norwegian government stated that it is "closely" concerned about the development of the situation.

In addition, the Norwegian Petroleum and Natural Gas Association (NOG) said last Sunday that by this Wednesday, the strike will reduce the daily natural gas output of the country, which is equivalent to 292,000 barrels of oil equivalent, accounting for 13%of the total output. According to the calculation of Reuters, Norway will lose 130,000 barrels of oil output a day, accounting for about 6.5% of the output.
