L5a-D4 is a high pressure, high temperature well located in the L5a-D field, around 100 km North of Den Helder, and tied back to the Neptune-operated L5a-D platform. It was tapped at a depth of 5.5 km.
Neptune’s managing director for the Netherlands, Lex de Groot, said: “We continue to seek opportunities to grow our business in the Netherlands and to enhance our offshore gas production. Dutch offshore natural gas remains hugely important for heating Dutch homes.
“Production of Dutch natural gas also contributes directly and indirectly to the Dutch economy and produces 30% lower CO2 emission than imported gas.”
The announcement follows the successful drilling of the E17a-A6 well, located almost 160 km from Den Helder, which was brought on stream in October last year.
