Description

  • An on shore field
  • One of the biggest Natural Gas Fields in the world, with original producible gas reserves of around 2,700 billion m³
  • Already recovered: approx. 1700 billion m3; still recoverable: 1000 to 1100 billion m3, so 60% of the gas has already been produced

  • Extent of reservoir: approx. 900 km2
  • Original reservoir pressure: approx. 350 bar
  • Number of wells drilled: approx. 300, spread over 29 production clusters
  • Groningen field has long-standing role as swing field: if gas demand exceeds total supply from small fields, Groningen field makes up the difference
