March alone saw a 4% production decline compared to the same month last year, totaling 16.3 billion cubic meters – a fifth consecutive month of month of falling output.
Norway, Europe’s biggest gas producer (supplying two-thirds of the continent’s gas), led the decline with a 7% drop to 31.5 billion cubic meters.
The UK’s production fell 5% to 8.3 billion cubic meters due to maintenance at the Bacton Gas Terminal.
The Netherlands tanked hard with a 25% plunge to 2.4 billion cubic meters — thanks to depleted fields and zero investment in new projects.
