Norway
Repsol has resumed operations at the Yme field offshore Norway after halting production due to a minor oil leak, the Spanish multinational’s partner OKEA announced on Thursday.

The facility was shut down on April 12, 2022.

The leak was identified in a pipe between the wellhead platform and subsea storage tank.
