NETHERLANDS REDUCING GAS PRODUCTION

NETHERLANDS REDUCING GAS PRODUCTION

ENERDATA22 Sep 2022 - The Netherlands’ gas grid operator Gasunie Transport Services (GTS) has announced that the country will proceed with its plan to cut gas production from the Groningen gas field in 2023, due to the fact that Europe has stocked up on supplies ahead of winter and that high prices have led to a reduction in demand.

The Groningen gas field's output is due to be lowered to 2.8 bcm in the 12 months through to the end of September 2023, ahead of its planned closure at the end of that year. Its production in the year up to 30 September 2022 has been capped at 7.6 bcm. Boosting production at the Groningen field was envisaged during several months in order to bring down soaring gas prices.

NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij) (60%), a joint venture between Shell and ExxonMobil (50/50 JV) and EBN (40%), holds the unique production licence for the Groningen field.

In 2021, natural gas accounted for 43% of the Netherlands’ total energy consumption and 46% of its power mix. The country's domestic production (21.7 bcm in 2021) covered only 51% of its domestic consumption (42.3 bcm).
