  • The Dutch government says it will phase out gas production at the Groningen field by 2030 as part of efforts to reduce the danger caused by small but damaging earthquakes.
  • Production is set for 21.6B cm this year, already down from a peak of 53.8B cm in 2013, and is planned to fall to below 20B cm for the production year beginning October 2018 and to below 17.5B cm for the 2019 year, assuming average temperatures, then to 12B cm in the coming 4-5 years and to zero at the end of the 2020s.
  • The Dutch Economy Ministry says the cuts will be achieved in part by forcing large industrial users to seek other sources of energy by 2022.
  • Gas company NAM, which runs the Groningen field, is a joint venture of Royal Dutch Shell (LON:RDSa) (RDS.A, RDS.B) and Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM).
