LONDON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - French energy firm Total (TOTF.PA) confirmed on Wednesday that it halted oil and gas output from its Elgin/Franklin fields in the North Sea, shutting around 280,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, a spokeswoman said.

"Production will restart as soon as the technical issues have been resolved," a company spokeswoman said.

She said a gas processing unit needed to be repaired before the fields could resume operations. Peak production at the fields includes 175,000 bpd of condensate and 15.5 million cubic metres of gas per day. (Reporting by Randy Fabi; Editing by Anthony Barker)
