OSLO, April 21 (Reuters) - Norway's crude oil output in
March missed the official forecast but gas output exceeded
expectations, preliminary data from the Norwegian Petroleum
Directorate (NPD) showed on Thursday.
    Crude oil output fell to 1.74 million barrels per day (bpd)
in March from 1.78 million bpd in February, lagging a forecast
of 1.85 million bpd, the NPD said.
    Natural gas production in March rose to 10.4 billion cubic
metres (bcm) from 9.8 bcm a month ago, and was 6.3% above
forecast, it added.
