Lundin Petroleum reports that production from the Alvheim field (Lundin Petroleum working interest (WI) 15%) and the Volund field (Lundin Petroleum WI 35%), offshore Norway was shut down for 13 days in May due to unscheduled maintenance on the Alvheim FPSO. The shut down was required in order for the operator Marathon Petroleum Norge AS to carry out preventative maintenance works on the Alvheim FPSO’s fire prevention system.

The Alvheim FPSO has now resumed normal operations and the Alvheim and Volund fields have recommenced production.
