OSLO, May 20 (Reuters) - Norway's crude oil output in April
missed official forecast by 10.6%, while its gas output was in
line with expectations, preliminary data from the Norwegian

    Crude oil output fell to 1.66 million barrels per day (bpd)
in April from 1.74 million bpd in March, lagging a forecast of
1.86 million bpd, the NPD said.
    Natural gas production in April averaged 327.1 million cubic

March, while the full month output was down to 9.8 billion cubic
metres (bcm) from 10.5 bcm in March, NPD said.
