OSLO, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Power supply to Norway's Johan
Sverdrup oilfield, the North Sea's largest crude producer, was
reduced on Monday due to a failure at a processing plant, Nordic
power exchange Nordpool said.
The power supply fell to 90 megawatt, while 235 megawatt of
capacity was unavailable, according to a regulatory filing.
Production at the offshore Sverdrup field, which can produce
some 720,000 barrels of oil per day in total, is dependent on
electricity arriving via power cables from land.
