Danish oil and gas group DONG Energy has resumed production in the Siri oilfield in the North Sea after temporary repairs were put in place. The oilfield is operated by the group and partowned by Norwegian company Noreco and Germanys RWE. It was closed in August 2009 after inspections revealed cracks in a tank. In a statement the company commented: "A temporary solution involving a metal frame that supports the subsea structure is now in place ensuring the stability of the construction." The organisation went on to say that permanent repair of the damage is expected to be completed in the second half of this year and now that Siri is back in production, the adjacent fields, Nini, Cecilie and Stine can also resume work. Earlier this week, Reuters reported an announcement from the oil and gas unit of chemicals group BASF that construction of the Nord Stream pipeline project is expected to begin on schedule.
