ONE-Dyas has started gas production from the second production well on the N05-A platform in the North Sea. This increases N05-A’s production to 1 billion cubic metres per year. As a result,
N05-A is already making a significant contribution to the gas supply of the Netherlands and Germany, at a time when energy security and geopolitical stability are high on the agenda.

ONE-Dyas, together with its partners EBN and Tenaz Energy has reached a milestone in the energy transition: the cable connection between the N05-A platform and the German offshore wind farm Riffgat is complete and is being used to produce natural gas. This makes N05-A the first natural gas production platform in the Dutch and German North Sea to run on offshore wind energy.

ONE-Dyas supplies natural gas from the N05-A field in the North Sea – part of this gas is purchased by EWE’s wholesale subsidiary to supply German households and businesses.
November 2024
In autumn, ONE-Dyas drilled the first well from which natural gas can be produced from field N05-A in the Dutch part of the North Sea. Soon, the production well will be connected to the Dutch natural gas network via the production platform. This connection ensures that the gas is connected to end-users.

On 26 September 2024, Climate and Green Growth Minister Hermans answered parliamentary questions regarding gas extraction project N05-A. As Minister Hermans wrote in the parliamentary letter of 9 September: ‘It is important that the gas is still produced this winter, especially also because the Groningen field was permanently closed this spring, so that less gas has to be imported. This gas production thus contributes to the security of gas supply to the Netherlands. In addition, this gas has a lower carbon footprint than imported gas, thus contributing positively to global climate goals.’

The Landesamt für Bergbau, Energie und Geologie (LBEG), part of the Lower Saxony Ministry for Economy,Transport, Construction and Digitalization, has granted ONE-Dyas the permits for the development of the N05-A gas field and surrounding prospects in the German part of the North Sea. This means that ONE-Dyas now has all approvals in Germany and the Netherlands for this Dutch-German energy project in the North Sea.

The construction of an undersea cable between ONE-Dyas’ gas production platform N05-A and the German wind farm RIFFGAT in the North Sea can start. The Lower Saxony Department for Water, Coastal and Nature Conservation (NLWKN) had already granted the permits to ONE-Dyas in 2022, but has now issued another permit as a precautionary measure and ordered the immediate enforceability of all permits.

The court ruled in favour of ONE-Dyas and ministries of EZK and LNV on almost all grounds, including climate, subsidence, seismicity, emissions to air and water, the Borkum Stones and many environmental grounds, but also gives homework to do, particularly around the nitrogen issue.
