* Norwegian pipeline gas exports total 320 mcm/day * Skarv field expected to restart on Saturday OSLO, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Norwegian natural gas exports to Europe fell onThursday morning from the previous day because of lower deliveries to Britain,data from gas system operator Gassco showed. Flows through the Langeled pipeline, Britain's main subsea gas import route,were running at 68 million cubic metres (mcm) per day compared with its fullcapacity of 72 mcm/day. Gassco expects gas production from BP's Skarv field to restart onSaturday, as scheduled, but flows will be reduced during the gas day, it said onThursday. "With the Langeled flowing at the level close to capacity we expect thatreturn of Skarv field will rather affect flows to the Continent," analysts atThomson Reuters Point Carbon said. "Lower production from the Norwegian continental shelf today is likely dueto downward production adjustment at the Oseberg field as lower flows throughthe Vesterled pipeline suggest," they added.
