石油设备网讯 据WENews.com网站5月30日伦敦报道，荷兰政府周三表示，由于来自巨型格罗宁根气田的天然气生产将被逐步淘汰，荷兰政府在未来的几年里将减缓小型气田的天然气生产并停止在陆上寻找新的气田。
作为减少小型但有破坏性地震所造成危险努力的一部分，挪威政府在今年3月份决定在2030年前逐步减缓曾经是欧洲最大气田的格罗宁根大气田的天然气生产。
荷兰政府经济部周三表示，到2020年，荷兰240个小型气田的天然气产量将从今年的200亿立方米降至大约150亿立方米。
由于现有气田的储量将被耗尽以及陆上寻找新气田将被停止，荷兰的天然气年产量预计到2030年前将下降到50至100亿立方米，到2050年预计将进一步下降。
荷兰经济大臣埃里克日前在一份声明中说：“我们将通过提供负担得起的可持续能源来尽最大努力减少对天然气的需求。只有在必要和安全的情况下，天然气才会被开采出来。”

Dutch Government to Slow Gas Production at Small Fields
The Netherlands will slow down production at smaller natural gas fields in coming years and halt the search for new fields on land as extraction from the vast Groningen field is phased out, the Dutch government said on Wednesday.
The government decided in March to wind down output at the Groningen field, once Europe's largest gas field, by 2030 as part of efforts to reduce the danger caused by small but damaging earthquakes.
The Economy Ministry said on Wednesday that production from the country's 240 small gas fields would decline from a total of little over 20 billion cubic metres (bcm) this year to around 15 bcm in 2020.
Production is expected to fall to between 5 and 10 bcm by 2030 and to steadily decline further in the period until 2050, as existing fields will be depleted and the onshore search for new fields is stopped.
"We will do our very best to diminish the demand for gas, by providing affordable sustainable energy," Economy Minister Eric Wiebes said in a statement. "Gas will only be extracted as long as it's necessary and safe."
