OSLO, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Norway's natural gas output
rose in November, beating an official forecast, while crude oil
production lagged expectations, the Norwegian Petroleum
Directorate (NPD) said on Wednesday.
    Natural gas production in November rose to 362.8 million
cubic metres (mcm) per day from 328.7 mcm a month ago, and
exceeded a forecast of 356.1 mcm by 1.9%, the regulator said on
its website.
    Crude oil output rose to 1.78 million barrels per day (bpd)
in November from 1.77 million bpd in October, and below a
forecast of 1.84 million bpd, NPD's preliminary data showed.
