Gas pipeline network co-owner says surprised by Norway's nationalisation plan

OSLO, April 28 (Reuters) - Norway's plans to nationalise most of its gas pipeline network came as a surprise, one of the current owners in the network said on Friday.

"It is fair to say we are a bit surprised. Norwegian petroleum policy has had its foundation on combined ownership from private companies and the state and has worked well," Kurt Georgsen, chief executive of Silex Gas, told Reuters.
