OSLO (Reuters) - The planned escalation of a strike by Norwegian security guards could begin to shut the Nyhamna gas processing plant and two large gas fields from Friday, which would reduce Norway’s exports to Europe by a quarter, system operator Gassco said.

Some 2,300 security guards organised by the Norwegian Union of General Workers (NAF) are on strike nationwide over pay, and an additional 85 will go on strike from Saturday unless the dispute is resolved first.
A gradual shutdown would have to start on Friday to prepare for the strike the following day, Gassco’s systems operations chief Alfred Hansen said.
