The worker’s strike currently underway in Norway has forced oil supermajor, Royal Dutch Shell to halt production operations at its Knarr field in the North Sea. Shell’s spokesperson has confirmed about the shutdown operations, anticipating at least 36 hours before the shutdown comes into full effect. Knarr field produces 3,800 standard cubic meters of oil equivalents, where Shell has partnered with Japan’s Idemitsu, Wintershall, and DEA.
