    OSLO, July 3 (Reuters) - A planned strike next week by
Norwegian petroleum workers could cut the country's gas output
by 292,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, corresponding to
13% of output, employers' group Norwegian Oil and Gas
Association (NOG) said on Sunday.
    Oil output could be cut by 130,000 barrels per day, NOG
added.
    Members of the Lederne labour union, who make up around 15%
of the country's offshore petroleum workers, on Thursday voted
down a proposed wage agreement that had been negotiated by
companies and union leaders.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N2YI3KA  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N2YH35Z
    Talks have since been held between employers and the union,
NOG told Reuters.
    "There have been talks, but we don't see a solution," a
spokesperson for NOG said.
    Norway's other oil and gas labour unions have accepted the
wage deal and will not go on strike.
