OSLO, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Equinor (EQNR.OL) , opens new tab has restored full output capacity at its Johan Sverdrup oilfield in the North Sea following a power outage, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Output was halted on Monday at western Europe's largest oilfield due to an onshore outage that disrupted electricity supply to the platforms, boosting global oil prices.

Equinor early on Tuesday said two-thirds of oil output capacity was restored.

Later in the day full capacity was established, it said on Wednesday.

"The entire production facility at Johan Sverdrup resumed operations yesterday and is now producing steadily at normal levels," the company spokesperson said.
