The Netherlands will halt production at Groningen,
Europe’s largest onshore natural gas field, by 2022, eight years earlier than
initially planned, the Dutch government said on Tuesday. Groningen produced
nearly 54 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas in 2013 before tremors blamed on
drilling damaged buildings and prompted a series of lowered caps on output and
protests by residents and campaigners. An unusually strong earthquake in
January 2018 prompted the government last year to promise to end production by
2030. [emp]
