OSLO, Dec 3 (Reuters) – Anglo-Dutch energy group Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) is testing its Ormen Lange gas field in the Norwegian Sea after a shutdown on Friday, and plans to restart production late on Monday, Shell’s Norwegian unit said.
“Ormen Lange is not back up, for the time being we are still testing,” said Kitty Eide, Shell’s spokeswoman in Norway.
“We hope to begin the start-up process late today. Shortly afterwards, production should be back to normal capacity.”
Norway’s StatoilHydro STL.O, which on Friday handed over operatorship of the big gas field to Shell, said last week that production should be restarted on Sunday. Norwegian media reported that the shutdown was caused by a minor leak.
Ormen Lange, on line since October, is expected to produce up to a fifth of British gas needs when at full capacity. It is linked to Britain through the Langeled pipeline crossing the North Sea. (Reporting by Wojciech Moskwa)

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
