     <p>Production from Statoil's Sleipner A platform, shut down by a fire on 18 October, resumed today.</p> 
     <p>The North Sea installation is set to reach a daily output of about 24 million cubic metres of natural gas within a couple of days.</p> 
     <p>"Once the Sleipner T platform has also gone back on stream in a few days from now, gas production will be back to the pre-fire level of 46 million cubic metres per day," reports platform manager Egil Kai Eide.</p> 
     <p>Daily condensate (light oil) output will lie around 106,000 barrels within a couple of days of Sleipner A coming back on stream, and return to the normal level of roughly 162,000 barrels once Sleipner T has resumed operation.</p> 
     <p>Extensive repairs remain to be completed on Sleipner A. This work is being pursued independently of actual gas production.</p>
