Plans to reduce Groningen low-calorific natural gas production cap
The Dutch government plans to reduce the Groningen low-calorific natural gas (L-gas) production cap by 10% for 2017, according to ICIS, in response to advice issued by government monitoring agency, the State Supervision of Mines (SodM), following a review of seismicity in the region.
The current Groningen production plan has capped annual output at 24bn cm for five years from 2016. A 10% reduction in gas produced in 2017 would equate to a 21.6bn cm production ceiling for the 12 months from October 2017,
notes the market analyst.
It will also increase the strain on high-calorific gas (H-gas) conversion as a source of supply and the use of the 6bn cm capacity Norg storage site as a source of flexibility.
