Bridge Energy ASA reported that production restarted on the Duart field on April 9, 2012.

The Duart field has been shut in since October 5, 2011 as a result of planned maintenance activity on the host Tartan platform. The extended shutdown on the Tartan platform has enabled completion of a more comprehensive maintenance work scope which should increase the near term uptime of the facility.

The anticipated increase in host uptime and a period of flush production following the long shut down, will partially offset the delayed Duart production volumes, but overall 2012 revenues from Duart are expected to be higher because of the increased oil price.
