Unplanned outage cuts Groningen gas production

An unplanned outage has reduced gas output from the Groningen field, Gasterra said.

As of 11:30am CET today, part of the Groningen field had gone off line, resulting in the "immediate physical loss" of 10mn m³/d of production, Gasterra said.

Dutch production has increased over the past week, as colder weather spurred demand in the Netherlands. Aggregate production was a steady 252mn m³/d during 1-4 December, and had stepped lower to 244.2mn m³/d during the first three hours of the gas day today, before the outage was announced. Production slipped to 239mn m³/d in the hours following the announcement.

The most recent outage at the field was at the end of November, but day-on-day Dutch gas production was little affected. Operator Nam said at the time that it manages such outages by optimising production from different parts of the field.

Gasterra said there is no indication yet of when the outage will be resolved.
