The project “aligns with the Dutch policy objective for small fields: to meet existing demand with domestic natural gas as much as possible,” Chief Executive Officer Chris de Ruyter van Steveninck said in a statement Tuesday.The expansion marks a step-up from roughly 700 million cubic meters previously produced from a single well and moves the project closer to its full capacity of 2 billion cubic meters a year. Output from the site now covers about 7% of Dutch gas demand and roughly 2.5% of Germany’s consumption, with peak capacity expected by the fourth quarter ahead of the winter heating season.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

The development could unlock as much as 13 billion cubic meters of gas — equivalent to about 15% of Germany’s annual demand — though it has faced opposition from environmental groups concerned about risks to the Wadden Sea, a Unesco World Heritage site.As a step to reduce carbon emissions, the platform is powered by electricity from Germany’s offshore wind park Riffgat, enabling near-zero operational emissions, according to the company. One Dyas says the wider area holds an estimated 50 billion cubic meters of recoverable gas.Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion.
