PRODUCTION
Some Norwegian Oil Workers to Strike from July 5 - Seventy-four Norwegian offshore oil workers at Equinor's (NYSE:EQNR) (Stavanger, Norway) Gudrun, Oseberg South and Oseberg East platforms will go on strike from July 5, the Lederne trade union said on Thursday, likely shutting about 4% of Norway's oil production. Lederne, which negotiates on behalf of 1,300 members, said the planned strike would have virtually no impact on gas output, at a time of tight supply in Europe, because the affected platforms almost exclusively produce oil.
